I'm sure there's a bash-app for that... *sigh* And here I thought it was as simple as setting a flag on disk. Sounds like the implementation lends itself to having an extended-attr to potentially set the option on a dir-by-dir basis similar to the +d bit, though it would only apply to dirs and files within -- but not subdirs (due to different mount locations)? That might certainly be more flexible than a whole disk as well if it is practical. Then as the 'attr' was set, the hash could be rebuilt either inplace, or created as a newdir with files being moved to the new dir. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
