I have been lurking on the list since I left the Phoenix area for Texas<br>earlier this year. I now need answers from those I know and trust. Help!<br><br>In the past, I have used both wipe and shred to remove files from a disk
<br>so they cannot be recovered. I am now having to do this under both Linux<br>(SuSE SLES-9) and AIX (v5.2) where both use a journaled file system. All<br>of the documentation says these tools will fail under these conditions.

dban.sf.net</a>) is probably by far the best. However, of the filesystems you listed, it only covers two: ext2/3, and reiserfs. JFS is not supported AFAIK. UFS, however, is.
