Not for now. Regarding gfarm2fs, the following functionalities
are not implemented;
- uid for another person
- gid
- nlink for directory
- readlink(2), symlink(2), link(2)
- chown(2) to another person (this is available by gfchown)
- statfs(2) (df does not work right now, but will be implemented soon)
- xattr
Is there any type of estimated time frame for chown and df/statfs to be implemented?
Also, what is the difference between gfarm2fs-1.0 and gfarmfs-fuse-2.0?
Basically it can be managed by an upper-level management layer
than the Gfarm file system, although we do not have such a system
fow now.
Do you have any examples of existing programs or implementations like this? I am wondering if there is an easy way to implement this as part of our v2 test cluster.

I will be doing some of this research, so will keep you posted as I make comparisons.
Thanks so much,
