I think it s a good idea but I need your opinion. + - PAX system will restore ( save) this attr. - enable access to filesystem spec without ugly iotcl (like ext2) -universal userspace access - - kernel grow - user don't need this. I don't write this to FAT maintener because I think it s more general ( for instance in ext2fs for immutable flag) Thanks PS : -I wrote first an incomplete mail send by error, sorry for this mess. -I release my patch next , after some test ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français !
