RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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.
...
