https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42986 --- Comment #11 from Theodore Tso <tytso@xxxxxxx> 2012-03-27 06:17:59 --- Yeah, but chmod is POSIX; EXT2_IOC_GETFLAGS is not. And if you are using the EXT2_IOC_GETFLAGS variant, then you're saying that you only care about it working on ext2, and most programs hopefully aspire to more portability than that. I really doubt there are _that_ many ext2-specific program out there, and the flags that can be set by IOC_GETFLAGS really are more esoteric than the chmod flags. In any case, Al Viro is carrying the patch in his tree, so ultimately it will be up to him. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
