Message-ID:  <38336910.AA589DD2@netquick.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
is there anything that will securely delete data from the freespace of a
filesystem, say i have like financial data on my system, and i want it
deleted, i can rm some-file-name

but in actuality even though its gone, various foprensic utilities make
the data recoverable

is there something to wipe the freespace on freebsd file systems ???? to
make data deleted unrecoverable ???
