bug#10493: coreutils shred fat32

[Leontiev Danil]

Thx for the answer.

first start:
address@hidden usb]$ LANG=C shred -uvf /media/usb/test 
shred: /media/usb/test: pass 1/3 (random)...
shred: /media/usb/test: pass 2/3 (random)...
shred: /media/usb/test: error writing at offset 0: Invalid argument

second start: 
address@hidden usb]$ LANG=C shred -uvf /media/usb/test 
shred: /media/usb/test: pass 1/3 (random)...
shred: /media/usb/test: pass 2/3 (random)...
shred: /media/usb/test: pass 3/3 (random)...
shred: /media/usb/test: removing
shred: /media/usb/test: renamed to /media/usb/0000
shred: /media/usb/0000: renamed to /media/usb/000
shred: /media/usb/000: renamed to /media/usb/00
shred: /media/usb/00: renamed to /media/usb/1
shred: /media/usb/test: removed


I did insert debugging information in a source, I can send, and this log.

Obscure point is related to the variable "ssize", in which the first "run" to 
4096. If you call the utility shred on device with a non-fat32 fs (i use ext2 
i.e.), the value will -1.

Sorry for my english.
