Hi,

if we were to use shred to delete a file on a gluster volume, will the
correct blocks be overwritten on the bricks?

(still using Gluster 3.6.3 as have been too cautious to upgrade a
mission critical live system).
When I strace `shred filename`, it just seems to write + fsync random values into the file based on some seed from /dev/urandom. Since these are normal syscalls, and since gluster just sends these FOPS to the bricks, it should work fine. All caveats listed in `man shred` for the on-disk file system (XFS) still apply.
