Hi John, . and .. are not stored on the server. They are dynamically instantiated (faked) for both the kernel module and user-space ls utilities. Keep in mind that we don't keep track of ref counts accurately for performance reasons. One of the few places where pvfs diverges from a posix compliant FS. thanks, Murali

Hi, Since pvfs does not support hard links, can you explain how the . and .. directory entries are implemented? Thanks, John _______________________________________________ Pvfs2-developers mailing list [email protected] http://www.beowulf-underground.org/mailman/listinfo/pvfs2-developers
