And this one is much worse than ioctl, which with a fixed [fd,cmd,arg] tuple seems like a stronhold of sanity compred to this monster with multiple arguments and a path that may or may not be there. I think you'd be better of writing tools that use a sane interface than adding a big pile of crap like this to the kernel. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
