hi fellas,
Here is an errno.h patch which provides these new errno values.
XFS needs both values. ENOATTR is also required by the ext2
extended attributes project (and any other filesystem intending
to implement extended attributes in the future). Both values
need to be visible in both kernel and user space, so this patch
would be an initial step toward libc support also, hopefully.
In the absence of any cleaner way to do this (?), could we have
this patch applied please? Any/all feedback much appreciated
-- thanks.
cheers.
