The other day on ##hurd when Marcus proposed to use xattrs for the shm problem, I realized as well that a better option would be to store the translator and author info on xattrs natively in the file system layout instead of wrapping them in every kernel implementation around. That would give us free translator support on every kernel supporting xattrs w/o having to hack them. And would allow us to add translator support to every file system with xattrs w/o having to extend (some times in a forced way) the file system layout. regards, guillem _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
