That's true. Maybe I could add an "ls" facility? > or us that FUSE FS part of the release? Not currently planned, but it's a good idea.

Then please > don't call it inode number, but rather hardlink-ID or so. Right. It's made by BackupPC on the server side. But it would be the inode number exposed by FUSE, so I'd like to call it that.
