Hi Alain, I think in particular a slack space wiper would be nice. Something which opens each file, adds 00s to make the size a multiple of the cluster size, makes sure that the changes are written to disk, and finally truncates the file to normal size again. You can combine this with a tool which creates a bogus file to fill all free space. Those 2 steps together give you a tool to wipe empty space without using sector based low level access :-).
Note: This would not wipe unused / deleted directory entries (you could add a bit of that by creating a bunch of temp files to make directory size a multiple of cluster size) but on the other hand it would be quite nice that the tools suggested above would work even in Windows and for non-FAT filesystems and with- out the risks of messing with lowlevel access :-) Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
