Thanks! :-)
exFAT doesn't? I thought it did.
Well, TBH, I have not checked, but AFAIK *no* version of FAT does on MS OSes.
I had not checked, either; I simply had that idea from somewhere. Maybe thinking that being a recent filesystem it would have them. I had a look at the wikipedia article and doesn't mention it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT Then here: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes> they say: Windows NT «On Windows NT, limited-length extended attributes are supported by FAT,[19] HPFS, and NTFS. This was implemented as part of the OS/2 subsystem. They are notably used by the NFS server of the Interix POSIX subsystem in order to implement Unix-like permissions. The Windows Subsystem for Linux added in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update uses them for similar purposes, storing the Linux file mode, owner, device ID (if applicable), and file times in the extended attributes.[21] Additionally, NTFS can store arbitrary-length extended attributes in the form of alternate data streams (ADS), a type of resource fork. Plugins for the file manager Total Commander, like NTFS Descriptions [22] and QuickSearch eXtended [23] support filtering the file list by or searching for metadata contained in ADS Streams.»
OS/2 1.2 (& later) kludged EAs onto FAT with some magic hidden files with spaces in their filenames -- illegal on FAT16 before VFAT.
Notice [19] on the wikipedia excerpt above :-) Eager, Bob (2000-10-28). "Implementation of extended attributes on the FAT file system". Retrieved 2017-07-11. --> <http://www.tavi.co.uk/os2pages/eadata.html>
TTBOMK Windows never supported this. I've checked, since you raised it, and apparently on later editions of Windows CE (the embedded version, also the basis of Windows Phone 7.x/8.x) it exFAT supports Access Control Lists (ACLs) -- but no desktop or server version of Windows supported exFAT ACLs.
Curious. Side note: Your email is PGP signed, but when trying to import the key Thunderbird says: The key with ID 0x926E0C261BF45416 is not available on the keyserver. Most likely, the owner of the key did not upload their key to the keyserver. Please ask the sender of the message to send you their key by email. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
