Hi,
from a Lustre user point of view, having a way to readdirplus (getting
dirents + related attrs) would really be helpful.
Beyond the mere scope of Ganesha, it can have bunches of cool cases of use.

I repeat below Steve's original mail. Steve you said you have
some experimental code, could you post an header and a git URL
so we can have a look?
I have seen in the Corner of my eye a readdir-plus syscall in FreeBSD
I will try to find it and post the Interface header as reply to here.
Might as well make sure they should match somewhat.

As part of the work we've been doing in relation to integration between
NFS/Samba and GFS2, Abhi has been working on a readdirplus system call
in order to investigate the issues involved with creating such a call.
It is still early days yet, but by April there should be some
interesting results to present.
Please add Abhi to the attendee list as well as myself.
Also, it has been some time since we had a NFS/Samba meeting to discuss
the other issues which are pending, such as locking, ACLs, etc. So we
could perhaps also allow some time to do that face to face rather than
over the phone as we've been doing up til now,
Steve.
Thanks
Boaz
