Instead of adding another ioctl, wouldn't an xattr be more appropriate? For instance, system.fatattrs containing a text representation of the attribute bits.
i.e. a = archive d = directory h = hidden r = read only s = system v = volume 6 = unused bit 6 7 = unused bit 7
and
bash-3.00$ getfattr -n system.fatattrs dosfile.txt # file: dosfile.txt system.fatattrs="ar"
bash-3.00$ -- Nicholas Miell <nmiell@comcast.net>
