Yes. Or "dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1M", which is the same. Delete "bigfile" afterwards, and you are done. A single overwrite is enough. On a SSD, you should issue the above command after booting from an external medium and run fstrim after you deleted the bigfile. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
