There are some special folders or files or whatever under every file where some userspace can put some metadata. A keyword perhaps. echo linux > file.bla/keywords/topic The filesystem might then automatically put these keywords into an index and then provide a search mechanism elsewhere where it could ask "find me all dentries with the keyword 'linux'." and it would return a list like locate does. Only that it's in realtime and also works when moving the file around (but not when copying with an unaware program for obvious reasons). --=-B1vbGDegrw7jAq82gPAY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBLhNdZCYBcts5dM0RAq9CAJ9pgJXRmbhmrrTyK+SNWcDM3sGZ5gCgkdEK IhcgQtuxG1fRNF5OPZZau5w= =zyan -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-B1vbGDegrw7jAq82gPAY--
