I think I heard this mentioned before, but what about the ext2 drivers
moving an unlinked file to /.wastebasket (like /lost+found) and
having user-space programs manage it? Have the default to not
happening, and if you decide to change that, then you are responsbile
for managing it (ie, running the daemons).
