Snapshots & data security

[Scott Sullivan <ssullivan@liquidweb.com>]

Hello,

Could someone please clarify if there is a legitimate reason to worry about data security of a old (removed) LVM snapshot?

For example, when you lvremove a LVM snapshot, is it possible for data to be recovered if you create another LVM and it happens to go into the same area as the old snapshot we lvremoved?

If this helps clarify, do we have to worry about security scrubbing a LVM snapshot for data security ?
