One way to do secure erase (for disposal) is to begin with an encrypted disc. However, after the fact the following options are possible:
If you often mount and access a remote NFS share on your system, you will probably want to know how to improve NFS file access performance. One possibility is using file caching. In Linux, there is a caching filesystem called FS-Cache which enables file caching for network file systems such …

In Linux, there is a caching filesystem called FS-Cache which enables
file caching for network file systems such as NFS. FS-Cache is built
into the Linux kernel 2.6.30 and higher. In order for FS-Cache to
operate, it needs cache back-end which provides actual storage for
