I guess the code needs to be checked, but I would think that: * ls * find * rm -r * chown -R * chmod -R * rsync * various backup software * imap servers
Then somebody do the analysis. And please an analysis which takes into account that some programs might need to be adapted to take advantage of d_type or non-optional data from the proposed statlite.
Plus, how often are these commands really used on such filesystems? I'd hope that chown -R or so is a once in a lifetime thing on such filesystems and not worth optimizing for.
I'd suggest until such data is provided the readdirplus plans are put on hold. statlite I have no problems with if the semantics is changed as I explained.
