What's a realistic size for xattr?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm trying to figure out a reasonable approach to implementing xattr in YAFFS.

>From my (limited) knowledge of xattr it seems that in theory you could store a 
multi-Mbyte database in xattr, but in practice a smaller size is far more 
reasonable. Clearly storing/managing a small blob is going to be a lot 
simpler.

What is the cut off of a reasonable xattr blob size? 1kbytes? 2kbytes?...

Thanx.

Charles
