Imho, Given that the filesystem is still 'experimental', I'd concentrate on getting it stable before worrying about immutable and xattrs unless they are easy. (Immutable is easy). In 13 years of using Linux in all sorts of ways I've never yet to use either feature. They would be good to have, but stability in a filesystem is much more useful. I'm biased of course: if LogFS were stable and well tested, I'd be using it right now in my embedded thingy - and that doesn't even bother with uids :-) -- Jamie - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
