Bug Description

Binary package hint: secure-delete

If run with the -i mode, it only fills the inode free space, but still tries to remove the temporary file.

How to reproduce:
sfill -i -v /whatever/mountpoint

Need to add a line like

if (inode_only < 1)

before the part

               if (unlink(newname) != 0)
                   fprintf(stderr, "Error: Could not remove temporary file %s!\n", newname);

to fix it.
