Shredding instead of deleting
Hi, I have a wishlist item. Is there an appropriate place for me to post it? Basically, I would like to know that my email isn't recoverable from the local disk on the mail server after I delete it. So instead of just deleting the file from my Maildir, I'd like the option to exist for Dovecot to shred it.. Ie, overwrite the file with random data and/or null bytes before deletion. In the

file shred
Hi, if we were to use shred to delete a file on a gluster volume, will the correct blocks be overwritten on the bricks? (still using Gluster 3.6.3 as have been too cautious to upgrade a mission critical live system). Cheers, Kingsley.

What is the universal (world wide) understanding behind degaussing harddisks?
Good evening from Singapore! The foremost question which I want to ask is, what is the universal (world wide) understanding behind degaussing hard drives? I work for No Secrets Agency (NSA) Pte Ltd (fictitious company name used). My sales manager Edward Joseph Snowden (fictitious individual name used) had *promised* our customer Leave Me in the Lurch (S) Pte Ltd (fictitious company name used)

OT: hardware: sanitizing a dead SSD?
Anyone have any clues about how to sanitize a dead SSD? We haven't had it yet, but we're sure it's coming. Esp. since I'm a federal contractor, a dead disk gets deGaussed, but what the hell do you do with a SSD?

Multiple-pass overwrite of EXT3 file on a journalled fs
Greetings all, I am curious if anyone knows why utilities such as 'GNU shred' (part of coreutils) and 'wipe' say they are not effective on journalled file systems- especially EXT3. Is it because you can't "guarantee" that the journal has been flushed/wiped (i.e. you have the journal 'between' you and the actual data blocks on the physical disk), or because

Utility to zero unused blocks on disk
DBAN is obsolete. NIST 800-88 for some time now says to use secure erase or enhanced security erase or crypto erase if supported. Other options do not erase data in remapped sectors. Chris Murphy
