Hello,

I was asked if it is possible to zero unused space in ext3 partition?

Users write to the server via Samba and are far from computer geeks so teaching them to use some safedelete utility is quite impossible.

Is there some way or utility to wipe out all the data from unused space?

Thanks,

wow...long time...look read up on like running multi 0S on same box ...like say centos and windows. In order to do that you have to play w/your hard drive space and spec it out... Now I don't remember the command or program you use but I think it's a good start for ya
