Nope. A file is an inode and that either eists or doesn't. A filename is just a dentry in a directory, it is not the file itself, it may or may not exist, may or may not actually mean something and is there purely for *your* benefit in userspace. So there's no conflict. alan -- [email protected] mailing list
