We already have tools like this in fstests (dirstress, metaperf, etc) for exercising name-based operations like this, so it would fit right in. That way it would get run by just about every filesystem developer and distro QE department automatically and extremely frequently... Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
