#1946: consider removing some st_* fields from metadata
-------------------------------+-----------------------

     Type:  defect             |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal             |      Milestone:  soon
Component:  code               |        Version:  1.9.2
 Keywords:  privacy anonymity  |  Launchpad Bug:
-------------------------------+-----------------------
 Here is typical metadata for a Tahoe directory entry:
 {{{
   "metadata": {
    "st_gid": 1000,
    "ctime": 1360790214.51,
    "st_ino": 264045,
    "st_dev": 2052,
    "st_mode": 33204,
    "mtime": 1360790214.5,
    "st_uid": 1000
   }
 }}}

 We should consider removing the {{{st_gid}}}, {{{st_uid}}}, {{{st_ino}}},
 and {{{st_dev}}} fields, since they are not very meaningful and may
 constitute a privacy or anonymity risk for some uses of Tahoe.
