This reverts part of a change from 1997-12-13, + and is to avoid letting a race condition evoke a bogus diagnostic. + Note that while POSIX has encouraged the errno==EXDEV test for + years, it was inadequate back in 1997. I'm hoping that many + more systems have conforming support these days. + Reported by Michael Gaughen <mgaughen@polyserve.com> + * src/shred.c (usage): Also mention Ext3.
