From 6390d33bf5d9b24fd4f96e415b6888f59c8494f9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Sun, 13 May 2018 16:45:56 -0400 Subject: ext4: add verifier check for symlink with append/immutable flags The Linux VFS does not allow a way to set append/immuttable attributes to symlinks, this is just not possible. If this is detected inform the user as the filesystem must be corrupted. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
