Abstract: Modern file systems associate the deletion of a file with
the release of the storage associated with that file, and file
writes with the irrevocable change of file contents. We propose
that this model of file system behavior is a relic of the
past, when disk storage was a scarce resource. We believe
that the correct model should ensure that all user actions
are revocable. Deleting a file should change only the name
space and file writes should overwrite no old data. The file
system, not the... (Update)
