Hi Sam,
It seems like it should be possible to do that format checking of the acl when the system.posix_acl_access extended attribute is set. Does it make sense to add a callouts framework to set-eattr to do format checking for specific xattrs?
Hmm.. Given that acl's are encoded while setting the acl's, the format checking on client-side is implicit I would think. Did you imply a format checking on the server-side? The only unlikely reason I can think of why acl's could get trashed on the db is if pvfs seteattr operation on the acl keyval was invoked directly from user-space instead of the through the usual setfacl() program/kernel. thanks, Murali _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
