CentOS 6.9, shredding a RAID
I've got an old RAID that I attached to a box. LSI card, and the RAID has 12 drives, for a total RAID size of 9.1TB, I think. I started shred /dev/sda the Friday before last... and it's still running. Is this reasonable for it to be taking this long...? mark

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.

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

wiping out data on a disk (no physical acess to the machine)
Hi, I need to securely wipe out a disk on a remote machine, but I don't have access to that machine. Therefore I cannot use the LiveCD+shred (or dd) combination. Besides manually shreding known data files, I am wondering if there is a (free) tool that can be used in my case. Thanks.
