Following up on a discussion a few years ago about missing STATX attributes, I noticed a case recently where some tools on other OS have an option to skip offline files (e.g. the Windows equivalent of grep, "findstr", and some Mac tools also seem to do this). This reminded me that there are a few additional STATX attribute flags that could be helpful beyond the 8 that are currently defined (e.g. STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED, STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED, STATX_ATTR_NO_DUMP, STATX_ATTR_VERITY) and that it be worthwhile revisiting which additional STATX attribute flags would be most useful. "offline" could be helpful for fuse and cifs.ko and probably multiple fs to be able to report, but there are likely other examples that could help various filesystems. -- Thanks, Steve
