Inode numbers on 32 Bit Linux

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

we need to run 32 Bit Linux kernels, but file identification of our RSBAC 
access control system relies on unique inode numbers. Plain Ceph uses inode 
number 1 for all filesystem objects, leading to id problems. To check 
yourself, make a "find" and see that it complains about file system loops 
because of this. ls -i shows number 1 for all items.

I changed the inode number generation as follows to get unique numbers and now 
everything works fine without collisions.
