I am teacher of the University Paranaense - UNIPAR - Umuarama - State of Paraná - Brazil I am developing a mestrado work that I study in Santa Catarina's Federal University - State of Santa Catarina - Brazil, to insert a signal in the inode of the struct ext2_inode I use to reserved field of the structure union _32 l_i_reserved1. I get register the signal in the inode, I make the consultation and I verify that the same is kept. I make that for two or three times, but the kernel of Linux turns off this signal in this field. As I do to solve this problem union { struct { __u32 l_i_reserved1; } linux1; struct { __u32 h_i_translator; } hurd1; struct { __u32 m_i_reserved1; } masix1; } osd1; / * OS dependent 1 * / I found reference that the application DEFRAG070 uses the field _32 h_i_translator of the struct hurd1, for change of inode information. This interferes in the result of the work that I am accomplishing.
