Yeah, I was thinking about for testing/debugging purposes so that we could use keyctl to examine the per-file system keyring and see what keys are attached to a file system. This is only going to be usable by root, so I guess we can just try to figure it out by going through /proc/keys and searching by sb->s_id. If there are ambiguities that make this hard to do, we can add an interface to make this easier. - Ted ______________________________________________________ Linux MTD discussion mailing list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/
