Description Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2014-12-21 20:44:17 UTC
write patterns on disk/file =>

scrub overwrites hard disks, files, and other devices with repeating patterns intended to make recovering data from these devices more difficult. 

Reproducible: Always

This was fixed in commit 132e54b700ddd5777ff366bed4fda05317ddc540
Comment 2 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-04-13 15:00:57 UTC
I agree, this was fixed in 2.6.1 by using a short but more meaningful DESCRIPTION.
@Felix: thanks!
