Thank you for the info Jeremy
I think I will try EXT4 and see if I have better results then - also I
agree with you about streams - I just think some of my more foolish
clients wont.
Better just tell them "NO" firmly and then give them the example you
gave - ;-)
Any workaround for the winbind problem I have? This to me is a very
serious problem and all I can think of for a solution is of making a
script that would ping the DC and if the connection to the DC was gone,
to kill winbind, then if the DC is back, start winbind back up.
IS this a good idea? It seems very very bad and hacky to me... I am
hoping with all my fingers crossed that you have a better solution!
Again, thank you - and keep up the excellent work!
Cheers,
-Clayton

First, XFS seems to work well for me until it was discovered it has a
limited amount of ACLs that can be set in the file system, (25! ) and
extended attribute support is kinda kludged in with the same space the ACLs
take up??? which can lead to all sorts of issues when dealing with
inheritance and the importing of ACLs/EAs etc from files stored on NTFS.
Thus I feel that XFS is somewhat poor FS to mimic NTFS.
My question:
Is there any Linux file system out there that can compare accurately with
NTFS? I want seemingly unlimited ACLs, EAs and stream support that can
meet, if not exceed the capabilities of NTFS.
This is basically a requirement that is a deal breaker for me???
Am I asking too much? What file systems do you use? How do they compare to
NTFS?
No, there is currently no Linux filesystem with the NTFS semantics.
I think ext4 might have larger EA support, but there is no Linux
filesystem I know of with unlimited EA's and ACL support.
No Linux filesystem supports streams that I know of. Streams
are a really bad idea. Ted Tso convinced me of this when he
showed me a Windows machine running README.txt as a
binary (containing a virus of course). Streams are pretty
dangerous and mostly used to hide malware from admins.
