ls -ld /n /n/boot and you will see they have the same mount number. > It's done here, 9p1.c:1300,1301: > > if(d->qid.path == QPROOT) /* stat of root gives time */ > d->atime = time(); > > and here, 9p2.c:1431,1432: > > if(d->qid.path == QPROOT) /* stat of root gives time */ > d->atime = time(); > > I haven't looked to see if fossil does it. It does, if only because accessing the root updates atime anyway. But that's not what I was getting at. If you dial the file server yourself and read/write 9P messages, yes, you can get at the stat info for a file server root. But via the usual system calls, the stat info for any mounted file server root is invisible. You always see the mount point, never the mounted root. Russ
