There is actually an interesting twist to this one: The VFS system as we have it currently cannot deal with the fact that a filename may have certain restrictions in a particular filesystem type. The most obvious example is that a FAT filesystem barfs at ':' in the filename (A very good practical joke: put a file called "READ:ME" on a FAT floppy, and give it to a WIN user) We need a EBARF return from namei which means "A pathname component made a filesystem sick" Poul-Henning In message <199908272022.NAA45644@freefall.freebsd.org>, Mike Pritchard writes: >mpp 1999/08/27 13:22:57 PDT > > Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_3) > lib/libc/sys bind.2 mkdir.2 mkfifo.2 mount.2 > undelete.2 > Log: > MFC: Remove some 4.3BSDish anacronisims that state it is an > error to have pathname that contains a character with the > high-order bit set. > > Revision Changes Path > 1.6.2.1 +0 -2 src/lib/libc/sys/bind.2 > 1.7.2.1 +1 -5 src/lib/libc/sys/mkdir.2 > 1.7.2.1 +1 -5 src/lib/libc/sys/mkfifo.2 > 1.16.2.1 +0 -2 src/lib/libc/sys/mount.2 > 1.1.1.1.2.1 +0 -2 src/lib/libc/sys/undelete.2 > > > -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
