Greatings, I started reading online to refresh what I knew about secure deletion of files, and being sure that "free space" on an ext3/ext4 partition is surely "free", that is you can't recover the files that _were_ there.
After reading this article: http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/howto-delete-files-permanently-and-securely-in-linux/ I found that there is a Fedora RPM for srm, and that the source code for sfill is at http://www.thc.org/releases.php I will (re)study these topics in detail in the next days. My first interest is to understand if those (or other) tools are enough to be sure, without reformatting/reinstalling, that, besides the files one DOES want to keep, there really is nothing else recoverable on the drive. I'm very interested to know your opinion/experiences/suggestions about this.
