So, are we ready for Mingming or one of the ext4 developers to propose a patch for this via xattrs (I can do a similar one for cifs). Sounds like various have said: 1) xattrs instead of ioctl 2) get of create time allowed by default, but set of create time limited But for the second part of this - how should we set nanosecond timestamps for the others (or in Samba's case, rounded to 100 nanoseconds for DCE time) ... a millisecond granularity for utimes is a very long time these days. -- Thanks, Steve -- 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
