hello,
that sounds interesting - just one question: what about file size? is
it always zero or is it set to the original size and the file contents
are empty ?
The filesize (IMO) should stay 0 bytes, since the file actually /is/ empty.
I believe forging the filesize number in the filesystem to its source
(original) size would be more misleading than helpful...
When working with xattrs, one gets used to 0-Byte files pretty quickly
though :)
However, I like to store the original filesize as "yet-another" metadata
key/value xattr information with the 0-Byte files. Works like a charm
and so it's clear that "there is no payload" - but it's a stub,
referring to another file.
Regards,
Peter
