File Attributes: WRITE_THROUGH 0x80000000 (which could map to FS_SYNC_FL) and NO_BUFFERING 0x20000000 (whoch could map to FS_DIRECTIO_FL) are interesting, but ... they are defined in MS-CIFS, but no longer seen in MS-FSCC so ... the obvious question is did they work on Windows (and other NAS) for cifs but not for SMB2/SMB3? Anyone ever tried to use these attribute flags? Otherwise will ask the MS guys On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 7:20 PM, Steve French <smfrench@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Some of the attributes returnable by lsattr have equivalents in > cifs/smb2/smb3 (and NTFS).
