In general, no. It might work in the special case where nothing on the filesystem is ever moved or removed, and no hard links are ever added. As a simple example, suppose I have directories foo and foo/bar, and file foo/baz, with i(foo) == 15, i(foo/baz) == 20, and i(foo/bar) == 25, satisfying your criterion. If I do mv foo/baz foo/bar (so baz is now foo/bar/baz), I will have i(foo/bar) == 25 and i(foo/bar/baz) == 20. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
