OTOH, IIRC you can disable the journal on reiserfs at mount time, allowing you to shred(1) files effectively. nolog is the option you're looking for.

The more experienced PLUGgers should be able to correct me on this. > > raul > > On Mon, 17 Jan 2005 09:17:07 +0800, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > I have used a Live CD distro called "Digital dolly".
