2.0 OVERVIEW
The Solaris CIFS project requires file system support for a
number of "system" and opaque file attributes.
Suppose someone desires to add a new "system" attribute. By what
criteria can we (the ARC) judge whether that attribute qualifies as
being a "system" attribute? That is, what constitutes "systemness" in
an attribute?
