You sound just like the Microcrap certified nerds I often quarrel with. There is nothing primitive about a fully functional filesystem!



Neither ext-3, etc-4 or NTFS are remotely fully functional. The architectures are antique, right out of the 1980s era.

Lack of snapshots, lack of end-to-end data integrity checking, the need for fsck/chkdsk utilities, lack of reliable data recovery with redundant datasets, etc, etc, etc.

Linux has plans for BTRFS ("Butterface") that will be a modern design but that's a ways off. Microsoft talked about upgrading from NTFS 2-3 years ago but apparently couldn't pull it off.

My point is, data "shredder" utilities may not be careful enough to work right, and definitely won't right on newer schemes.
