Yeah, I'm not sure how high a priority chflags are right now. Keeping in mind that I'm mostly ignorant of cifs / samba, is there a particular set of attributes there that it likes to use? I'll have to look into why we don't currently support readpages / writepages. I'm guessing it boiled down to lack of developer time :) --Mark -- Mark Fasheh Senior Software Developer, Oracle mark.fasheh@oracle.com
