Can't we just add some constant base to the loop below? > I thought the same thing, but Jeff pointed out that nfsctl_transaction_write does ops based on inode numbers, and they maybe can't move around? rv = write_op[ino](file, data, size); However, nfsd's call to simple_fill_super already sends in a set of files starting at inode 2: enum { NFSD_Root = 1, NFSD_Svc, ... static struct tree_descr nfsd_files[] = { [NFSD_Svc] = {".svc", &transaction_ops, S_IWUSR}, ... return simple_fill_super(sb, 0x6e667364, nfsd_files); which does... for (i = 0; !files->name || files->name[0]; i++, files++) { if (!files->name) continue; ... inode->i_ino = i; So I think it's already expecting the root inode at one, and the other files starting at 2? -Eric - 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
