Is there a particular reason why there are no facilities to 'un' unlink a= file=20 in freebsd? (apart from the obvious reaon of - people shouldnt delete fi= les=20 that they want to keep)...=20 is there some philisopical reason that it shouldnt be at least an option?= or=20 is it just due to no one bothering? perhaps it could be disabled by defau= lt,=20 but enabled on a per file system basis via fstab? (ie the /home partion). Yes I know people should make backups, but there are always going to be i= diot=20 out there and it may save some admin's some time? thoughts?
