#63"Causes non-serious data loss". What does that mean. Only affects cat videos?
“How is it not serious if she died from it?”
“She made an unsuccessful recovery”

I wonder if Linus will publicly scold the developer responsible for this, like the famous "Mauro, STFU!" e-mail

This isn't a sports tournament, nobody is cheering or bashing "teams". If ZFS has bugs and caveats, they should be called out. Same for ext4.

Most data is recoverable albeit slow to do. It takes some very bad conditions or intentional actions to make data recovery impossible. Current high level standards for military/diplomatic data sanatisation are complete physical destruction of hard disks. Even linux tools like shred have given up saying they can actually delete data from disks due to how SSD's work these days.

I don't agree - modern NVME drives have secure erasure mechanisms. All data is by default encrypted on-the-fly within the flash memory, and when requesting a secure erase, the controller throws away the key and generates a new one. https://man.archlinux.org/man/nvme-format.1
Also have you done any work in digital forensics?
Eagerly awaiting your response.

Assuming the firmware doesn't lie about it does:
