That's wrong. The patches already work. If you delete a file which isn't
in use by something else, the current contents will be wiped on
traditional harddrives. I assume that already fulfills more than 50% of
use cases of ordinary people.

thought about, but if you're not willing to do the work, then please
stop complaining about "high towers". I am not a maintainer and I
thinks that the feedback you've got is entirely reasonable. Take it
as you will.

One more thing, can I ask you what were your expectations when
posting those patches ?

I've posted them for other users which are happy with what I've
explained above. Besides requesting an API which makes such a simple
solution, in contrast to the the 's' bit, possible.

To be more precise: How do you add something like EXT2_IOC_[SG[ETFLAGS to vfat or one of the dozens other filesystems which don't know about linux-specific flags? I don't see a way to do that, so there's only unlinkat() left.
