Hello.
<br>The manpages indicate that a file with the <tt>u</tt> option 
set is undeleteable, but it doesn't say how.
</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>
Any ideas?

I think this bit was reserved for future use and
that it would/will require a userspace program
(or use of an API by programs like '<tt>mc</tt>' and
other file managers) to actually browse and
recover "deleted" files.

I think the current feeling in the development
community is to implement a new filesystem or
some new extensions to ext2 that would allow
full versioning support.  However, I don't
know the real skinny on it.
