That is true. For file systems other than fuse, the property seems to
apply to all file systems
of the type. I don't know what fuse does?
- Does fuse support these at all? (They are not supported by Linux, as
far as I know.)

Having said the above, I think Kostik's suggestion of a new pathconf variable
seems the best, since it will cover all current and future cases.

Thanks for the comments, rick
