You'd basically need something along the lines of a NetApp qtree. i.e. a persisted tag that can label all the files and directories in a subtree, and that is used to enforce a set of rules that are generally normally associated with filesystems. So no renames from objects inside the subtree to directories that lie outside it. No hard links that cross the subtree boundary. -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer, Hammerspace trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
