Might the nlink count be the problem? i'm not seen the nlink problem occur because pretty much all filesystems have nlink set correctly *or* they set it to one like autofs does which happens to work because 1-2-n underflows (there are also those who claim that nlink==1 implies you don't know how many links there are) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
