Hello, this letter is relative with the last letter post by me in [1] [1] http://tinyurl.com/2lsa24 unify adopt 4 schemes to return struct stat* in 18 functions. 1. struct stat* is returned from the data node: readv, writev 2. struct stat* is returned from the NS node: mknod, mkdir, symlink, link, create 3. most part of struct stat* is returned from the NS node, but mtime, st_size, st_blocks is returned from data node: lookup, stat, fstat, fchmod, fchown, ftruncate 4. if it's a directory, return struct stat* from the NS node, otherwise same with 3: chmod, chown, truncate, utimens, rename (I don't know whether I have made mistake in this paragraph, :) ) Hmm, the unstable returned time will make vim give a warning (as I descripted in last letter). So I propose another scheme for returning struct stat*: 1. if it's a file: return struct stat* from the data node 2. if it's a dir: return struct stat* from the NS node under this scheme, at least the returned stat* can be stable. Any comment or suggestion? Thanks. -- Best Regards, LI Daobing
