From da2f6378884b16a19ccf7b75b74ddfe1a2f27f71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Blake Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:31:44 -0600 Subject: rm: tweak wording about loss of data warning * src/rm.c (usage): Update wording to make two points more apparent: undelete is not trivial, and partial recovery should be a consideration factor in deciding whether rm is secure enough.
