Hello all,
With some recent discussion about metadata I thought I'd start the beginnings of a reference page of what classes of metadata there are as well as which tools support dealing with it. What came out of it is this:
http://www.macos-x-server.com/wiki/index.php?title=Filesystem_metadata_support
or:
http://tinyurl.com/38vugx
Now, I must disclaim any and all accuracies (or lack thereof) this has :). This is strictly from experience and you'll notice is incomplete where I don't proclaim support for an item. An absense of a Yes or No in a table cell indicates I didn't know the answer. But that's exactly why I made it a wiki page and why I'm sending this message: I'd like others with their experience and knowledge to contribute to the document so that we may all gain from it :).
Also, I've mashed terms a bit with this document. For example the metadata types are categorized by the API that they're accessed with. This may or may not be appropriate: for example there may be some overlap (ACLs are implemented as system extended attributes I think).
Anyway, comments and contributions welcome.
Thanks,
- Jesse
