Hi all Here's my 2 questions about linux ext3 filesystem 1. How do I identify which data mode[writeback, ordered. journal] is being used by the filesystem on my machine. I checked /etc/fstab and /etc/log/messages and could not get any info from there. I know 'tune2fs' can be used to set the modes, but I would like to know which mode is it in, before setting up any. 2. In either of the data modes, which method or utility would you suggest to secure erase/delete files and directories, so that they are not recovered by any means. Any reply, reference regarding my questions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance Sheel Raj _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
