Just from the view by / over the SAN.

Means:
If someone has access to the phyiscal disks within the SAN this may not happen 
- depending from the storage configuration and usage - depending too from the 
SANs internal logic to handle space - within the SAN.

So the whole question is - from wich view you want to hide any older 
information...


cheers,

Niels.
