Brilliant................have been meditating on how to solve a problem like this for the past month. Had an entire upstairs with squeaks but tore all carpet up (needed it anyways) and solved that with 25 pounds of screws. Am unable to get below access or matching linoleum for the small area on the first floor so now I am on my way to Menards to find screws like those.
Sorry, but there's no way I'm gonna start drilling holes in a good linoleum/vinyl floor just to stop a squeak. That being said, if the squeak is driving someone crazy then you've certainly given them an option that's a lot less expensive then replacing tearing out the linoleum floor!
good idea
thats not linoleum though

Have somebody squeak the floor while you go underneath and tap a shim between the joist and plywood until the squeaking stops, glue shim.

That will work if you have access below the floor. If you don't and the squeaks really bother you this method will work.

put a drop or 2 of clear finger nail polish instead of costly seam sealer. works well on small cuts in vinyl floor
