Hi,

I've already searched the archives on this topic and didn't see anything useful. 
  I set up a test NFS server (v3) on a linux box and exported a partition 
rw,no_squash_root.  I set the attributes of a file in the exported partition as 
follows:

# chattr +a <file>

So the file is append only. When I attempt to read/write/append to the file I 
get a permission denied errror. Is there any way of getting NFS to honour this 
attribute as append only?

NOTE: I saw an archived post from Chris Mason suggesting a patch that looks like 
it will do what I'm asking, but there was no response to his message.

Thanks,

Paul
