POSIX-style modes on extended attributes #87

Closed jcnelson closed 10 years ago

jcnelson commented 10 years ago

Treat extended attributes with separate permission from files. Example: Let A write its own metadata to B's file, even if A has read-only access. B can't see A's metadata.

Make it a policy option to delete metadata when a file is deleted (or keep it around).

We will delete xattrs along with the msentry, for now.
