There is no reason not to support the standard xattr calls, whether it is done in-kernel or in the C library.

Namesys may not want to add the support themselves but I hope they do not reject contributed code for it. --=20 Jonathan Briggs eSoft, Inc. --=-p1ReSEuaX4xzS/xIrs80 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDAPw4G8fHaOLTWwgRApJeAJ4/U5u9S9z5JmpmfJ/lahw1cymRyACeMNmG Jys2Z0VUH/dEiIsRfTBjwsI= =RwEv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-p1ReSEuaX4xzS/xIrs80--
