If I have a single dentry, is it possible to track all of its parents until the VFS root? There's a d_parent field in struct dentry, but I suspect it doesn't carries through mountpoints. In case I need vfsmnt to do that, how can I deduce it from the dentry? bit, adam -- 1024D/37B8D989 954B 998A E5F5 BA2A 3622 82DD 54C2 843D 37B8 D989 finger://borso@vekoll.vein.hu | Some days, my soul's confined http://www.keyserver.net | And out of mind Sleep forever -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
