are in fact COW fs the only exception where the -P flag won't work? before
r213582 LFS was mentioned here and that the block size must be fixed.
also the comment in rm.c says that -P won't work for any logging file systems.
i'm not a fs expert, but i think mentioning that -P won't work for COW fs isn't
enough.
