After I found PFS to play tricks on me
when I handle many files with long filenames
I decided to give SFS a chance.

My problem is that it does not keep the
status I set for a file with chmod.
So when I write my perl scripts I have to
redo a 'chmod 0755 *' on every change,
so I can test the script in my browser.
Is there a way to keep this status like PFS does ?

I don't know if this is a SFS issue, but you could, in the meantime, code a small loop script which verifies that files are chmod'ed to 755.

Did you try contacting SFS author?

When I'm on drugs I've 3-4 scripts
at the same time open to change on the fly
Not really a good idea to loop a 'chmod' all
the time ... guess that would kill my data
in no time ;)

I'm really new to sfs, I just thought that when
it works in pfs it could work in sfs,too ...
I've not yet looked into contacting someone.
I dont even know who is responsible for sfs :)

Perhaps I'll look into this when I've managed to
create a bootable usb-stick so I can flash my
Radeon 9800 without a bootdisk ... too bad step
one of creating a bootstick is to copy the files
of the bootdisk

Seems I'm a problem-magnet atm :D

@Robin

A loop script which checks, say each 10 seconds, if the file has been modified. If not, just waits until it is to chmod it.

I don't see why it would kill any data.
