I think it would be useful to have a way of searching for XATTR values. One example of how this could be used is when analysing a SE Linux system it would be useful to be able to quickly get a list of all files with a particular security label (value for the security.selinux XATTR). But it's probably best that developers concentrate on reliability, performance, and more commonly desired features such as RAID5/6 support. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
