[Jfs-discussion] Re: ACL/EA for JFS

[Christian M. <sm...@tw...>]

Hi again,

i am working for an implementation of posix acls for JFS! 

i have decied to implement the posix acl's like xfs uses too. I have already 
implemnt the posix acls syscalls and have expand the structure 
"jfs_dir_inode_operations" and "jfs_file_inode_operations" with two functions 
for aclget and aclset. i can right now simulate to get ACL entrys from a file 
or directory and set entrys. now it is time to do the real 
implementation!. i have read the 
"http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/jfslayout/index.html" and i if 
i understand right, the inode 1 should used for that. Can i already use this 
inode, or must made changes to use this inode, or have i to go another way to 
get a fileset for the acl implemantation?
Have you some tips how i get the inode 1 with the shortest way, without 
breaking logging or something else?

Has someone wishes what to implement further?

And i hope i can put my first patch somewhere soon! :-)

Thanks,

Christian Mueller
