It would be almost trivial to create a fuse filesystem which completely hides these files if they exist (and doesn't allow the creation of new ones).

- laumars 5y agoIt would be trivial to code but any such wrapper would add overhead to file system operations. FUSE is a fantastic set of APIs (I’ve used it personally) and performs remarkably well considering it is constantly swapping memory between kernel and user space but for wide spread adoption any feature like this would need to be part of the native file system options.
