sfill

Securely overwrite the free space and inodes of the partition where the specified directory resides.

• Overwrite free space and inodes of a disk with 38 writes (slow but secure):

sfill {/path/to/mounted_disk_directory}

• Overwrite free space and inodes of a disk with 6 writes (fast but less secure) and show status:

sfill -l -v {/path/to/mounted_disk_directory}

• Overwrite free space and inodes of a disk with 1 write (very fast but insecure) and show status:

sfill -ll -v {/path/to/mounted_disk_directory}

• Overwrite only free space of a disk:

sfill -I {/path/to/mounted_disk_directory}

• Overwrite only free inodes of a disk:

sfill -i {/path/to/mounted_disk_directory}
