Hello All,

ZFS file system has a property called devices. If turned off, ZFS would not allow access to the device files (block/character) present on the file system. I want to implement the same behavior on the a Linux File System.

I don't know about ZFS, so could you please elaborate on what you mean by "ZFS could disallow access"? IMHO, (untested), you could simply do it using usual Linux file/directory permission up to SELinux/AppArmor....so, is that what you mean? -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
