sfill:tldr:9a0c1
This command uses the sfill utility to securely wipe the data on a disk directory that is mounted in the operating system. Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
sfill
: This is the command that initiates the secure wipe operation using the sfill utility. The sfill utility is used to overwrite the contents of a file or disk space with random data to prevent data recovery. -
${-path-to-mounted_disk_directory}
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the mounted disk directory you want to wipe. For example, if the disk directory you want to wipe is mounted at /mnt/disk, you would replace${-path-to-mounted_disk_directory}
with/mnt/disk
. It is important to substitute this placeholder with the correct path for the command to work effectively.
Overall, this command instructs the sfill utility to secure wipe the data on the specified mounted disk directory by overwriting it with random data.
