i agree that extended attributes in the root of the fuse-filesystem (the mountpoint-directory) would be a nice solution. FUSE modules could also expose some state information this way: * internal connection status * busy/idle * if the connection is dead (someone pulled the servers network cable): counts of reconnect failures... but are extended attributes available everywhere where FUSE is? another nice option would be ioctl() support for FUSE. But the FAQ says that's not possible... http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Why_doesnx27.t_FUSE_forward_ioctlx28.x29._calls_to_the_filesystemx3f. norbert _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
