There is one statement there that makes me a little concerned: "This metadata is now stored with the extended attributes of the file instead of storing it in a separate database." Am I right in assuming that this means xattr? If so, would there be implications for cases where those extended attributes may not get preserved or are not supported: - simple copy/move of a file using cp/mv (with the default options) - copy/move of a file using KIO - network file systems (NFS or SMB) - backup/restore - FAT filesystems - platforms other then Linux Hoping that none of those will make normal use impossible, but if there would be problems or workarounds needed with any of these then they ought to be addressed early.
