Msdos hidden files viewable from linux?



WRT: DOS bits.
Albert, how do you plan to preserve the hidden and system bits in the case 
where files are backed up and them restored. Maybe, instead of (or in addition 
to) using the leading '.', maybe you could set the setuid, and setgid bits 
which otherwise have no meaning for a umsdos partition.
