My request, though, is to just implement properties, and USER properties, like what we have in zfs. This seems to be a cleaner, saner approach. For example, this is on Ubutu + zfsonlinux: # zfs create rpool/u # zfs set user:label="Some test filesystem" rpool/u # zfs get creation,user:label rpool/u NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/u creation Fri Nov 2 5:24 2012 - rpool/u user:label Some test filesystem local More info about zfs user properties here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19082-01/817-2271/gdrcw/index.html -- Fajar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
