Our system contains both UNCLASSIFIED and CLASSIFIED data. Our security agency (AF-CERT in our case) have procedures for copying from a mixed classification system to UNCLASSIFIED media.
Files occupy full blocks and the concern is over contents of the unused (slack) space between the files's EOF (End-of-File) marker and physical end of the data block as occupied on disk. This unused data could be considered CLASSIFIED if contents aren't zeroed out. Does or has anyone modified GNU-TAR to clear unallocated (slack) space? Has anyone else been down this road? R.
