For large homes, this could result in a lot of metadata writes. And at least on my setup with many read-only snapshots in ~/, permissions changes wouldn't be permitted, even by the root user. Some file systems have a uid= gid= mount option, but none of the ones we use for /home do. I wish this could be supported by VFS. > Will it now allow this other user to access files and directories that > should be reserved to other users?
