Which means that you have to do two calls (xstat+statfs) to find this information that we can return pretty much for free here, though you can cache it based on st_dev, I suppose. Also, not all the flags are per-filesystem. The following are: FS_SPECIAL_FL /* Special file as found in procfs/sysfs */ FS_REMOTE_FL /* File is remote */ but the rest aren't: FS_AUTOMOUNT_FL /* Specific automount point */ FS_AUTOMOUNT_ANY_FL /* Unspecific automount directory */ FS_ENCRYPTED_FL /* File is encrypted */ FS_HIDDEN_FL /* File is marked hidden (DOS+) */ FS_SYSTEM_FL /* File is marked system (DOS+) */ FS_ARCHIVE_FL /* File is marked archive (DOS+) */ FS_TEMPORARY_FL /* File is temporary (NTFS/CIFS) */ FS_OFFLINE_FL /* File is offline (CIFS) */ FS_REPARSE_POINT_FL /* Reparse point (NTFS/CIFS) */ David -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
