Hi, I'm writing FUSE fs's, and need a method for doing lookups for of dentries and inodes. To start with dentries, a FUSE lookup uses the parent inode ino (an uint64_t) and the name.
Now I've expirmented a lttle creating a key like: - first 8 bytes used by parent inode ino, left padded with zeros. - rest the name of the entry like 00000001dexample which is the directory dexample in directory with ino 1. (to make this work custom locking is required) It works, but is it a good idea to do? Or are there other methods better? S.Bon
