Description Richard W.M. Jones 2010-04-21 10:24:30 EDT

Spec URL: http://94.30.104.162/rhel-5-rhev/scrub.spec
SRPM URL: http://94.30.104.162/rhel-5-rhev/scrub-2.1-3.el5rhev.1.src.rpm
Description:
Scrub writes patterns on files or disk devices to make
retrieving the data more difficult.  It operates in one of three
modes: 1) the special file corresponding to an entire disk is scrubbed
and all data on it is destroyed;  2) a regular file is scrubbed and
only the data in the file (and optionally its name in the directory
entry) is destroyed; or 3) a regular file is created, expanded until
the file system is full, then scrubbed as in 2).

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2010-05-27 11:53:29 EDT

Closing.  We are not going to include scrub or zerofree in
RHEL 5.  These packages are not necessary for virt-v2v
and we have removed the dependency on them from
libguestfs.
