Haha, yeah, except that it could also allow someone else to recover your mail cache instead.
Not if I safely deleted it before ;-)
Not really. On a similar situation, on an xfs filesystem you'd get zeroes, and in others, random data (with random results).
Anyway, XFS and ext4 seem to be fixed wrt. those problems.
Not really. Rather, programmers have to use "flush" more.
It is not a filesystem fault.
These are different issues. Getting zeroes means you extended the file and didn't flush. Getting "random" data isn't random. It's the file contents that used to occupy a specific block and is a security issue. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxqoTkACgkQLPWxlyuTD7JFyQCaA3so8PNGA9MF+icR/tf/mDdl LEwAn3zfViqqgqTJGDHI1ZrtdHSqJedv =AO5s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
