[Gluster-users] linux flash filesystems and GlusterFS

[Apostolos Manolitzas]

Hello,

as far as I can see, from the UBIFS Faq
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_xattr

UBIFS supports extended attributes if the corresponding configuration
option is enabled (no additional mount options are required). It
supports the |user|, |trusted|, and |security| name-spaces. However,
access control lists (ACL) support is not implemented.

beyond that, no clue if it's working.
