These files are created by some NFS clients a file is edited and removed

this has to be filtered out earlier.

Hynek Schlawack d68ffdb45a Restore [] where default arguments are not keywords
Reverts some changes of a36666c52115.

In the case of os's `mknod(filename[, mode=0600[, device=0]])`, I have nested
the [] as setting mode doesn't require to set device (but setting device
requires to set mode).
