For some of our users this would help A LOT.
Interesting ... just had discussions yesterday with some guys trying
to migrate to Linux and another set trying to backup Windows/NetApp
from Linux.
Some things they brought up that they needed (beyond what we already
have wth the cifs acl and SID and "dos attributes" xattrs, which is
even more useful now with the backup intent cifs mount flag) included:
- how do they tell if the inode number for a file was manufactured on
the client, or whether we were able to use the server file's inode
number ("UniqueId")
- how to get birth time (creation time)
- how to tell if file is "offline" (HSM)
- And is there a way to return the other less common cifs attributes
(e.g. "reparse")
Dave's patch seems to address all of that. Samba server stuffs most
of this in an ndr encoded xattr blob which isn't much good for kernel
code to use, and I really prefer Dave's approach. Without this, I
would need to add another cifs specific ioctl, but since there is
significant overlap between some of these and ntfs, vfat, nfs etc. I
like the xstat idea better.
