Consider merging nuke keys #198

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi,
I would like to as if it would be possible to merge 
https://github.com/offensive-security/cryptsetup-nuke-keys to the upstream? The 
patch itself is pretty small, so updating it to 1.6.3 should be relatively 
simple..

IMHO this feature could be pretty useful.

Thanks for considering

According to discussion on dm-devel list, I implemented simple erase command 
instead.
(Long thread, my reply is 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.device-mapper.dm-crypt/7184)

Erase command implemented here:

If you need "nuke" functionality, you can implement it very easily as a simple 
wrapper above it.

IOW I will not merge the original nuke patch.
(Please read the whole discussion on list and reply to list if you think that 
there is any other not yet mentioned use cases etc, thanks.)
