Subject: named streams, extended attributes, and posix
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2001 15:00:53 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A5E10F5.716F83B7@holly-springs.nc.us> (raw)

Now that 2.4 is out, it will probably be a few .x releases until 2.5
begins.

A discussion on Named Streams and Extended Attributes was put off until
2.5 earlier in the 2.4 development cycle. For compatibility with
existing, widely-deployed filesystems (e.g., NFS, XFS, BeFS, HFS, etc.),
Linux needs a standard way to expose and interact with these filesystem
features. A draft of a paper proposing a methd for accomplishing this on
Posix systems is available at:

Please read and comment! :)
