Ah, eh, getattrlist is a POSIX constuct that noone but Apple seems to have bothered to implement. It's like a getattr on steroids where the user process can ask about anything or nothins regarding a file system object, and get all the answers in a big chunk. Apple uses this in order to implement some Classig MacOS constructs (I Think) I have looked at the get/setattrlist for ufs and nfs and decided that the implementation is not trivial. But it seems that Pekka's patch has solved the biggest proböem right now, without implementing getattrlist, so unless someone is very eager to code this, it looks as if it can wait for now. > > On the side note, Pekka, your patches work great.

I wanted to give Pekka CVS access, but he needs an OpenDarwin account before I can do that, and the portal with which you apply for such accounts seems to be broken. Thus, the patch isn't there yet. However, I'll try to put it in myself, unless Pekka disagrees on that. ---- Christer Bernérus, SM6FBQ System Manager IT systems & services/Medic Chalmers University of Technology bernerus_at_medic.chalmers.se _______________________________________________ Darwincoda mailing list Darwincoda_at_opendarwin.org http://www.opendarwin.org/mailman/listinfo/DarwinCodaReceived on 2004-08-28 14:37:29
