There are some big problems with "deleted" however and doing it in

look for things like O_TRUNC on a file open and ftruncate.
At least I only want deleted files to be saved, not truncated. The way
the MSWIN (the gui parts) do it is enough for most users.

Well,
The old novell model is simple. When someone unlinks a file, don't
delete it, just mv it to another special directory called DELETED.SAV.
Then setup the
fs space allocation to reuse these files when the drive fills up by
oldest files first. It's very simple. Then you have a salvagable file
system.
