BSD Extended Attributes

FreeBSD-style Extended Attributes. The Wikipedia ACLs entry on FreeBSD ACLs has a good overview.

Implementation status

Implemented.

Notes

  • Attempting to read the system namespace while not a privileged user is expected to return an error. The system namespace is used, among other things, for storing kernel extended attributes such as ACLs.
