Thats basically what I was proposing with iflags.h, if you think it
would be better renamed to fflags.h and s/IFLAG/FFLAG/g then I'll do
that.
Perhaps I should "dig this out" from the GFS2 code and submit it as a
separate patch.... ?
XFS appears to support the immutable, append, no atime, no dump and sync
flags only, judging by the test in the xfs ioctl code, I don't see any
extra flags:
if (flags & ~(LINUX_XFLAG_IMMUTABLE | LINUX_XFLAG_APPEND | \
LINUX_XFLAG_NOATIME | LINUX_XFLAG_NODUMP | \
LINUX_XFLAG_SYNC)) {
error = -EOPNOTSUPP;
break;
}
Reiserfs appears to use sync, immutable, no tail, append and no atime.
jfs uses No atime, dirsync, sync, secrm, unrm, append and immutable.
So far as I can tell my list already includes all the currently used
flags,
Steve.
