I'm not sure it will happen since Craig is focused on the next version, though it wouldn't be hard to add if you are so inclined to get down and dirty with the code. However, remember that you would probably only want to store the partial md5sum itself and not the chain suffix since that can be changed by BackupPC_nightly and there is no easy way to back-identify all pc files pointing to a pool entry. So, whenever you have pool collisions, you would still need to "iterate" through the chain to find the right pool file. Still this is generally a relatively rare event (percentage wise).... (though you will get a little more than your share since you have collisions due to max inode count being exceeded too) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What happens now with your Lotus Notes apps - do you make another costly upgrade, or settle for being marooned without product support?
