Here is the logic Samba uses for inode determination, per Jermey Allison:
Ok, here's how we construct the 64-bit return value for that field: /******************************************************************** Create a 64 bit FileIndex. If the file is on the same device as the root of the share, just return the 64-bit inode. If it isn't, mangle as we used to do. ********************************************************************/ uint64_t get_FileIndex(connection_struct *conn, const SMB_STRUCT_STAT *psbuf) { uint64_t file_index; if (conn->base_share_dev == psbuf->st_ex_dev) { return (uint64_t)psbuf->st_ex_ino; } file_index = ((psbuf->st_ex_ino) & UINT32_MAX); /* FileIndexLow */ file_index |= ((uint64_t)((psbuf->st_ex_dev) & UINT32_MAX)) << 32; /* FileIndexHigh */ return file_index; } -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
