SubjectUsage of filetype
Digg This
Hi,

in the tune2fs manual I found the ext2 option 'filetype'. A file type seems to be an 8 bit number, defined in linux/dirent.h in struct dirent64. However, I didn't find any further docs about it, and I don't know any userspace tools to read/set it. Could anyone please point me to more info (or explain if this feature has any use)?

Thanks,
hjb
