Hmmm, yea. That's basicly what I think of the
wohle thing.
It should be possible for an IFS or another part to do a 1:1 or a
100:90 mapping of rights and users <-> SIDs
I guess this is done by the psxss.exe or by psxdll.dll, by mean of the
LSA, which lookups user and group names from the LDAP db on the DC. No
uid neither gid are stored in the fs metadata, only SIDs and ACLs, which
are what the LSA can eat.
In my opinion there'S nothing to it to limit the
user-part of SIDs to
16-bit and cut out just that.
Sorry not a POSIX guru here.
PS. My favorite is still JFS.
It has been prooved on OS/2 and OS/2 is our next relative. Its Src is
open(GPL) and it supports most of the features. Even reparse points
can be transparently implemented (EAs). I have nothing against s.o.
implementing NTFS, but I see many problems. So cut & off
JFS is excellent on my experience in AIX: that OS has one of the most
advanced and robust volume management I have seen.
