I love your proposal, but I'm concerned with littering the roots of all mountpoints with .mlocate and possibily 10 other dot files from other applications. I hope that you and the authors of other system services with similar requirements could get together and come up with a standard place for these files named .volume/, .info/, .db/ or something similar. Subsystems that may want to use it include full-text search engines, quota, etc. Great care must be taken to make all this metadata interoperable between different architectures, operating systems and software versions. Maybe the LSB would care to publish a standard within the next 10 years? -- // Bernardo Innocenti - Develer R&D dept. \X/ http://www.develer.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
