Subject: Will Reiser4 support a "hidden" attribute?
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 01:58:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031120005844.GC8854@Benine> (raw)
I would like to have some clarification about this section from
namesys.com:
"Hidden Directory Entries
A file can exist but not be visible when using readdir in the usual
way. WAFL does this with the .snapshots directory; it works well for
them without disturbing users. This is useful for adding access to a
variety of new features and their applications without disturbing the
user when they are not relevant."
This paragraph has been drastically pruned since the last time I was
reading it. Back then it went ahead asking if people wanted hidden
files like fat, ntfs and HFS always had. From the way this section has
been shortened I take it, this feature has indeed found its way into
Reiser4? This would be fantastic! I'm planning to use Reiser4 for my
Desktop Linux project. I need this feature to hide the Unix legacy tree
like MacOS X does it and (back then) BeOS.
What would be the command to hide/unhide a file?
