The file hasn't been accessed in so long its not only not cached, it's been archived by the HMS. The inode remains on disk, but the extended information, in this case the ACL, is off line. We anticipate that the extended attribute mechanism in 2.5 will look very much like the Irix XFS implementation. Some attributes will be inode resident, others may not be, and the difference will be size, not importance, based. -- Casey Schaufler Manager, Trust Technology, SGI caseyat_private voice: 650.933.1634 casey_pat_private Pager: 888.220.0607 _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
