As far as I can recall, though, the only requests I've seen for it (aside from people just running through NFSv4 feature checklists) have been from people that really just wanted extended attributes. And it'd probably actually be pretty easy to extend the v4 protocol to support extended attributes if someone wanted to. --b. - 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/
