Comment (by anarcat):

 it was still rewriting the disk this morning:

 {{{
 [...]
 Reading and comparing: done
 Testing with pattern 0x55: done
 Reading and comparing:  60.29% done, 22:53:22 elapsed. (0/0/0 errors)
 }}}

 23 hours! that seems unreasonable. i have interrupted that process,
 installed nwipe, and changed the procedure to use nwipe instead of
 badblocks.

 we're now at the final wiping stage. i have a screen open with `nwipe`
 running without a GUI. last estimates I saw (in the GUI) were about 6
 hours for one drive, so we might expect 12 hours from now on for a
 complete wipe.

 once the wipe completes, i'll tell hetzner to decom the server.

 now moving on with the rest of the procedure.
