i found reiserfs useful in the ext2/ext3 days, but now i find it completely |
| 10 |
irrelevant with ext4 |

my understanding of libattr/libacl is that the userland interface is FS |
| 16 |
independent. once the FS supports xattrs (if the kernel says it does, i'd |
| 17 |
believe that), then that should be all you need. |

while i've never tested xattrs on reiserfs (as alluded earlier, i've dropped |
| 20 |
all my reiserfs usage in favor of ext4), but i know tmpfs works (once you've |
| 21 |
enabled it in the kernel). |
