Hi Amir,
Sorry, I am getting lost here. Can you please explain a bit more.
My understanding is that index entry is created during copy up only for
files with nlink > 1. If a regular file is copied up there will not be
any index entry.
And during mount time, you are going through all index entries and
verifying there are no stale entries and cleaning up stale entries.
(ovl_indexdir_cleanup()).
So is the idea that with metacopyup we create index entries even for
regular files with nlink=1 and do similar cleanup? Sorry, I am little
lost here.
