user/sysadmin as in not the client? setting this out-of-band?
That does not work where the application and the sysadmin do not know about
each other (i.e. in a cloud environment).
The use-case that is described here cannot be mandated by the server because
the file usage pattern is really driven by the application.
The way I understood Trond is that it is set on the client, but the
application or and out of band tool. Think of the attributes set by
chattr.
Got it. thanks.
