According to the JFS home page, ACLs and Co. are still all on the TODO list with no implementation in sight. Well, those are features I'd like to see, so I'm wondering how, exactly, to do it. I could obviously come up with my own implementation from scratch, but it probably makes more sense to use the same format as AIX and OS/2. So could somebody clue me in as to what that format is?
I'd also like to implement BSD- and e2fs-style file flags/attributes (particularly user- and system-immutable and append-only inodes). Obviously di_mode is where those belong, but I'll need at least 4 bits and there only _seem_ to be two available (0x10000000 and 0x01000000). So how should I solve this? Seems that I could "share" (or "steal") the bits with OS/2, but I'm not sure how badly this would break compatibility. -- Eric McCoy (reverse "ten.xoc@mpe", mail to "ctr2sprt" is filtered) "Last I checked, it wasn't the power cord for the Clue Generator that was sticking up your ass." - John Novak, rasfwrj _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
