Actually, we're only talking about files here. A directory can't be
deleted in the first place unless it's empty, and the undelete operation
for an empty directory is the same as the directory creation operation.
A delete operation on a directory filled with files that have been
deleted but not yet reclaimed needs to be marked with the new attribute.
Otherwise, you lose the ability to undelete the files stored within it.
Good point.
Life gets interesting when multiple files with the same name have been
deleted, but maybe you don't care about that (I would).
Not so interesting. The function to list the entries reports multiple
files with the same name.
... and how do you pick which one you're undeleting?
I mean, I know how to do this at the RPC layer - you just undelete by FID.
But what is the UI going to look like?
I suspect that the improvement over traditional backup volumes is
relatively small, and while it would be a "cool" feature, I think there
are probably others on which the time would be better spent. Buy hey,
it's your time, not mine...
I completely agree that there are many more important things for time
to be spent on that are causing users real problems and not just
inconveniences.
