If I have a normal file system, and in a directory is an entry with an inode for a fifo (or a device), and I set an extended attribute on that inode, then surely it will get stored in the file system, and not in the fifo (or device)? So if the fifo (or device) code gets involved in this, then the bug is there, I'd think? -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
