i have an invention to share, but considering how small my world is,
it might be a re-invention.
i put the following line in fstab:
none /TFS tmpfs noexec,nosuid,nodev,size=64m 1 2
and the following lines in boot.local
=============================
td="TFS"
if [ -d /$td ]; then
nm="the.end"
z="abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
(( zc = ${#z} - 1 ))
for i in `seq 0 $zc`; do
k=${z:i:1}
mkdir /$td/$k
touch /$td/$k/$nm
for j in `seq 0 $zc`; do
m=${z:j:1}
ln -s /$td/$m /$td/$k/$m
done
done
fi
=================================
with the result that -e is true for files like:
fn=$td"/k/p/l/u/g/r/u/l/e/s/////././/././/./"$nm
if [ -e $fn ]; then echo "happy at last"; fi
apart from "why anyone would want to do such a thing", is this
a questionable implementation? how much linking can linux
handle?
