Should there be a continuation > inode in the local group, or is the directory entry itself enough? (Sorry for the delay; just moved to Portland these last couple of weeks.) It is a cross-chunk reference - we can't calculate the correct link count for the target file unless we have a quick way to get all the directory entries pointing to an inode. My current scheme is to create a continuation inode for the directory in the chunk containing the inode (if the chunk containing the inode is full, create new continuation inodes for both in a new chunk). -VAL - 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
