Admins,
I am looking for a method to overwrite the blocks that confidential
data resides on after the archival of a users home directory. I have
been able to find methods of wiping an entire disk, but not just a
specified area on the disk.
Such as:
tar cvf - /users/homer | 'cd /storage; tar xf -'
dd if=/dev/zero of=/users/homer
dd if=/dev/null of=/users/homer
These do not work do to the fact that homer is a directory. Is there
a way to accomplish this without replacing anything else on the disk
except the data that was archived?
