HI ZIYAD
i read man-page of Wipe. my technical english is not so well, frankly
speaking.
so i don't get it straight. what is Wipe finally capable doing?
file system here is EXT3, and i did not change any settings so far on
EXT3. no idea of how to do that anyway, haha.
if doing the wiping of a file, Wipe does its job without telling anything
regarding journaling filesystem, and related problems.
and there is also no error occuring.
the idea is still, that i have a possibility to delete/erase any file i
want without the possibilty of any recovery/un-delete.
what is the solution here (in Linux / Ubuntu)?
thanks for talking on that,
René
