ext2 not NULLing deleted files?

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
