Dear Rob,

I am the new maintainer of the package secure-delete for a few months.

Your bugreport is now eight years old. Unfortunately, it misses some
information: please can you tell me which are the filesystems on which
sfill repeatably fails? or send me a minimal example, like a tarball to
show how sfill's failure could be triggered?

By the way: have you got similar failures with filesystems which you are
using today?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards,                   Georges.
