Feature: System memory erasure on shutdown

1:15.352

Scenario Erasure of read and write disk caches of persistent data on shutdown

Hooks

Before features/support/hooks.rb:270 0.000

Before features/support/hooks.rb:277 0.002

Steps

Given I have started Tails without network from a USB drive with a persistent partition enabled and logged in 1:15.352

And I prepare Tails for memory erasure tests 0.000

When I fill a 128 MiB file with a known pattern on the persistent filesystem 0.000

When I trigger shutdown 0.000

Then I find very few patterns in the guest's memory after 20 seconds 0.000
