Thanks for the reiteration, Jared. And just to continue along those
lines, don't forget BCVs or snapshots, tape backups, etc. etc. If you
have a real need to destroy data, you'll want to get your storage admins
involved, talk to your vendors, and potentially even purchase a
dedicated solution for data cleansing.
These days, a simple rm or even a shred is unlikely to really remove
your data everywhere.
Matt

On Linux, you can use a tool called 'shred'. It will repeatedly write 25
times over on the disk. Make it a little harder to recover data if that
is your intent.
Just to re-iterate what Matt Zito already stated:
That won't work on some storage systems.
In particular it will not work on NetApp, and there may be others.
