Date: Fri, 17 Aug 2001 09:38:10 +0200 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.2] MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <01081709381000.08800@haneman> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi there, I just recognized there's an "undelete" now for ext2 file systems [a KDE app]. "The Other OS" in its professional version does of course clear the deleted blocks with 0's for security reasons; I would have bet a thousand bucks Linux would do so, too [seems I should have read the source code, good thing no-one wanted to take on the bet :) ]. So how to go about this? With that feature wanted, which fs should one choose under Linux? Is there a patch for ext2 for that feature? Am I the only one liking the idea? Greetings, Enver
