Hi,
I have a number of very long file names (~200 characters). When I use shred on
them, first of all, it slows shred down a bit doing 200 renames, and second,
for files on SSDs, I worry that so many write operations will cause the SSDs to
wear out before they otherwise would.
I wonder if you know any way to perhaps rename a file to all zeros, then rename
it to a single zero, and then unlink it. I guess I just don't see the gain from
the extra security in the present method as worth the cost.
Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.
