Not much involved to support it AFAICT but it would either involve changing the ondisk format of the inode or storing it in an EA.If you ever change the on disk format adding a file type similar to ext3 to directories could also greatly speed up find in many cases. Sounds a good idea. In that case a new ondisk directory format (at v2 at the moment). I think Dave (dgc) might have been mentioning something about that recently. --Tim |
