Description Stanislav Zidek 2014-07-23 16:50:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
According to bz903890, scrub --freespace removes the scrubbed file after filling up the space, but this behaviour is not reflected in manpage.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
scrub-2.2-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. man scrub

Actual results:
...
       -X, --freespace
              Create specified directory and fill it with files until write returns ENOSPC (file  system full), then scrub the files as usual.  The size of each file can be set with -s, otherwise it will be the maximum file size creatable given the user’s  file  size  limit  or  1g  if umlimited.
...

Expected results:
Something like:
...
       -X, --freespace
              Create specified directory and fill it with files until write returns ENOSPC (file  system full), scrub the files as usual, and then remove both files and the directory.  The size of each file can be set with -s, otherwise it will be the maximum file size creatable given the user’s  file  size  limit  or  1g  if umlimited.
