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.
Or to be give an actual use case, mount a (v)fat formatted usb-stick,
-hdd or mmc, delete a file with the patches I offered, unmount it, try
to find the contents of the deleted file at device-level (e.g. by
grepping the partition).
Maybe I should mention that I've tried it with bug reports instead
patches before. Beeing aware that I might be unable to write perfect
patches with the resources I'm able or willing to spend.
I just needed some days until the one for ext4 was closed, leaving no
hope that it might become fixed without trying it myself.
