Scrub iteratively writes patterns on files or disk devices to make retrieving
|
|
the data more difficult. Scrub operates in one of three modes:
|
|
|
|
1. The special file corresponding to an entire disk is scrubbed and
|
|
all data on it is destroyed. This mode is selected if file is a
|
|
character or block special file. This is the most effective method.
|
|
2. A regular file is scrubbed and only the data in the file (and optionally
|
|
its name in the directory entry) is destroyed. The file size is rounded up
|
|
to fill out the last file system block. This mode is selected if file is a
|
|
regular file.
|
|
3. A file is created, expanded until the file system is full, then scrubbed as
|
|
in item 2. This mode is selected with the -X option.
|
|
|
|
Scrub implements user-selectable pattern algorithms that are compliant with
|
|
DoD 5520.22-M or NNSA NAP-14.x.
