I guess so.
If data is gone and filenames too (including in snapshots), there should be
nothing private remaining. Right?



Meanwhile I made another test: I reverted back to 11.x and saw that it's now
giving the same troubles as 12.x and 13.0 do.
So my conclusion is that snapshotting/deleting snapshots on 12.x has already
messed the disk in a way that fsck doesn't even detect, but hangs the machine
on some operations.

Probably this is less useful than I hoped: while it would be nice to have a way
to fix this image, this cannot be used to reproduce the corruption on demand,
since it's already ruined. Maybe seeing what the trouble is can give some hint?

IOW I hoped to have pinpointed the situation when the trouble starts, but it's
not immediately evident and I'm already past it :(
