Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-866:
----------------------------------
[~wbardwel] Can you look at this again, and make a decision if we should
incorporate this with John's suggestions, or just leave it and close the bug?
Either way is fine with me, but I think we should investigate the things John
points out. If you think this is no longer needed, just remove the fix version
and close.
> Need way to clear contents of a cache entry
> -------------------------------------------

> Key: TS-866
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-866
> Project: Traffic Server
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Cache
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: William Bardwell
> Assignee: William Bardwell
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: sometime

> Attachments: cache_erase.diff

> I needed a way to clear a cache entry off of disk, not just forget about it.
> The worry was about if you got content on a server that was illegal or a
> privacy violation of some sort, we wanted a way to be able to tell customers
> that after this step there was no way that TS could serve the content again.
> The normal cache remove just clears the directory entry, but theoretically a
> bug could allow that data out in some way. This was not intended to prevent
> forensic analysis of the hardware being able to recover the data. And bugs
> in low level drivers or the kernel could theoretically allow data to survive
> due to block remapping or mis-management of disk caches.
