Hey,


[Perhaps I got confused somewhere in between]

nope, just me.


I think chattr +s file should be zeroed, along with its metadata. I
thought your patch already does that. If not, doing that would be
great...

it does already zero the meta-data. I was simply asking if you think the whole "erase" operation should be under the control of chattr 's', or just a subset (i.e. only data overwriting is optional). Its clear now that you want the whole thing to be controled by chattr 's'. I'll knock that up then, and re-submit.


peace,
