Why not implement it inside the directory containg the file ? Ie the metadata for /home/stesmi/foo is in /home/stesmi/.meta/foo This should be suit both camps I'd think? I mean, editing something is easy and you don't have to "know" how to navigate /meta and you don't have the clash of files vs metadata (is /meta/vfs/home/stesmi/foo a file or an attribute called foo of the dir stesmi ?). /home/stesmi/foo <- dir /home/stesmi/.meta/foo <- "dir" containing all metadata /home/stesmi/.meta/foo/attrib <- some attribute called attrib /home/stesmi/foo/bar <- file /home/stesmi/foo/.meta/bar <- "dir" containg all metadata /home/stesmi/foo/.meta/bar/attrib <- some attribute called attrib The file is $dir/$file. The attrib dir is $dir/.meta/$file. The attribute is $dir/.meta/$file/$attribute. If $attrib is something user-editable it's easy to $EDITOR $dir/.meta/$file/$attrib If this has already been taken up, I must've missed it. // Stefan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) iD8DBQFC0fBsBrn2kJu9P78RAlt4AJ4qWik6hA4oXBNZMdZ1TkweYrJHmgCdFAY+ m+Qtg9uqBq9m0qKfRkK6iUI= =ghWb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
