--- Comment #20 from Alexander Holler <holler@ahsoftware.de> ---
My proof of concepts now works for fat and ext4 (just by overwriting blocks w/o
secure_trim, but that's not necessary for the proof):

Most changes are to add the new syscall unlinkat_s(), the changes for fat and
ext4 itself are pretty small.

Will post patches when I've found the time to make them such, that I don't end
up again in silly discussions.
