And quite successfully I might add, its one of the better features of NT-4.0,
causing the drive in one of our boxes at the tv station to have to be
replaced with a re-imaged version 3 times over a 5 year period because the
deleted file was a very important part of NT-4.0. Same file twice, a
different one the middle time.
I wouldn't trust that filesystem with valuable data any farther than I could
throw it after its source code was carved on the back of Mount Rushmore.
