Title:
  Allow for configurable policy for wiping data when deleting volumes

Status in Cinder:
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When deleting volumes in Nova, it will fill the entire file with
  zeros. This can take a long time, and may be considered unnecessary in
  some deployment environments. On the other hand it may also be
  considered insufficiently paranoid. There ought to be a configurable
  policy for wiping data, allowing for no wiping, zeroing, or one of the
  scrub command algorithms. See also this thread.
