Well, technically I can never be sure of that I guess :) But since it adds the same two folders within the one of them that I opened, and keeps doing this for a long time (bogging down the system) I would still guess that's a recursion with no degenerate case. > If you just mean "a lot" (but not infinite), that's a different story, > and also likely--that's how higher layers of file system APIs often > behave in Mac OS X.

Just a few hours ago I found out that I actually returned "/foo" as the name of a file in the root of the volume instead of the correct "foo". That seems to be a bad idea :) -dennis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "macfuse-devel" group.
