Yeah, that's what we were surmising. But paranoia and compliance being
what it is we were curious what others were doing.

I have to wonder if the intent of the DUA is to keep physical media

parallel filesystem (or a normal single file server) is physically
secured in a data center, and the drives are destroyed on
decommissioning, that might satisfy the requirements.

The former. We are curious how to selectively delete data from a
parallel filesystem. For example we commonly use Lustre, ceph, and
Isilon in our environment. That said if other types allow for easier
destruction of selective data we would be interested in hearing about it.

Are you asking about selectively deleting data from a parallel
file system (PFS) or destroying drives after removal from the
system either due to failure or system decommissioning?
For the latter, DOE does not allow us to send any non-volatile
media offsite once it has had user data on it. When we are done
with drives, we have a very big shredder.

Occassionally we get DUA (Data Use Agreement) requests for
sensitive
data that require data destruction (e.g. NIST 800-88). We've been
struggling with how to handle this in an era of distributed
filesystems
and disks. We were curious how other people handle requests
like this?
What types of filesystems to people generally use for this and
how do
people ensure destruction? Do these types of DUA's preclude
certain
storage technologies from consideration or are there creative
ways to
comply using more common scalable filesystems?
Thanks in advance for the info.
