So what? My point is that after scrubbing and removal of the space-filling files, you may be left with a number of sectors that were used for indirect blocks during the space-filling phase of the scrub process. These sectors may not themselves be scrubbed but will now be available on the free list after you're done. poc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
