Does it work with CoW filesystems (XFS, Btrfs)?

If not, the user should be warned.

The same goes for FUSE and network filesystems.

Also I noted that the hardlink count isn't checked.

Hardlink count is actually a good idea, appreciated.

As for xfs, and fuse, they should work, as I don't see any reason why they wouldn't. As long as the filesystem drivers are there it should be fine. But I have not tested this myself. My development laptop uses btrfs (default install of fedora) so it does work with that.

I'll add a warning icon to files that are on filesystems that aren't shredding friendly (for example some RAID implementations), and to filesystems accessed thru a network.

Will implement these ideas this April when i finish my spring semester.
