We absolutely need xattr support or else nearly everyone is going to move to ext3. There are those who are too scared to try to use SELinux, FACLs or other features provided by xattrs. But for those of us doing "real" work, SELinux and FACLs are long overdue. I love using ReiserFS. I consistently see significantly better performance and more economical use of my storage spaces with ReiserFS over ext3, JFS or XFS in real-world use. I will soon have all of my systems converted to using SELinux. I do not want to abandon ReiserFS, so I will make sure to patch my kernels as needed. However, most of the systems that others use (which I have set up or whatever) are not going to see these kernels. For most people, it has to come with the "stock" kernel of their chosen distribution. Please, get the xattr patches into the mainline kernel. Thank you for all the great work. Keep it up. -- Lamont Peterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Senior Instructor Guru Labs <http://www.gurulabs.com/>
