The question remains as to how "correct" this is really. Is the "user." prefix a Linux system-wide restriction, or is it a per- filesystem thing? If it's the latter, that means we'd have to check the filesystem type (which I don't know how to do from Python, offhand) every time we want to write a property. That may be a downer, performance, wise. AFAIK this is a Linux (VFS layer) thing and not a per filesystem thing (see include/linux/xattr.h). Cheers, -- Guido
