But at least you don't have a size problem (does it fit in the trash). A
trash could be all mounted filesystems and all known entries
(persistant for unremovables, but needs first level update when entered)
and unknown for freshly mounted ones. They build while browsing and/or
with a scan option. If you then want to restore a file on a floppy,
'mount|open trash|rmb scan on fs' will do to get the trash. How often do
you want that?. (I also don't understand why some wants to hide fs from
the user. MS has drives, we have fs.)
The one big difference is that the user, more or less, should remember
where the file was deleted. For me that wouldn't be a problem..even a
preference.
