DoD 5220.22-M Secure Wipe on an shared folder on Isilon ?

Question

I have a user that is requesting a DoD 5220.22-M standard secure wipe of a network folder on a share on an Isilon. Is this possible? From my knowledge this type of wipe is for an entire drive. If it is not possible, what is the most secure wipe/delete that can be done at a network share level on an Isilon.

it's not possible, your share reside on one file system that is spanning hundreds and hundreds of drives.  Delete data, expire snapshots ..there is not a whole lot you can do there.
