Re: Tenor?

Ok, its been a while since I've posted here, what the HECK is with that crazy anti-spam thing? Thats funny...

It isn't at the moment, but it should be. Unfortunately the three most used fileystsme (Ext3, XFS, and my favorite, ReiserFS) don't support this, and don't support plugins. Reiser4 does, but nobody uses it since it's not in the kernel yet.

But then someone would still have to write a plugin for Reiser4 to make it handle contextual linkage, which would majorly increase read/write time for the filesystem and also increase the filesystem's footprint.

For now its best left to userspace, where we can pick and choose what gets what kind of information.
