I'm slowly getting caught up here. From my first reading,
I have two nits: The spec says micro binding. CIFS server I suspect
in minor. I don't believe there is any micro release planned.
I can see this project being useful before S11, perhaps a
patch binding is appropriate.
The man page says "Evolving" that should be "Committed".
Now some real questions: Perhaps there's overlap with Glenn's line.
Perhaps this has been answered. As I asked in the meeting today,
a summary of the spec changes would. How is the Sun/Solaris distro
name space managed? I can see once zfs is bootable wanting to add
various "system" attributes. How will collisions be avoided with
other possible distros?
Can each attribute have a separate policy? For example, I may
wish to associate privileges with executables or file signatures
with each system data file. To view the privileges or signature
may not require any policy (beyond the default). However, to
modify should likely require some special policy.
Is there some thought that "system" attributes are ones that
require some policy either to view or modify?
Perhaps defining what does NOT constitute a "system" attribute
would be helpful. One might say that other distros could use
the XXX_ro / XXX_rw name space.
I'm planning to go back over the materials and discussion again.
Thankx,
Gary..
