The problem that I'm seeing is that the inode value isn't unique when
listing a directory (or using any program that uses the inode value).

Do I understand you right that this only happens for directories?  The
normal file inodes are looking ok?

No, it also happens for files too.

The inode that comes back from doing a ls -li is first much shorter
that a normal inode.  I've included lists from my share when using
the 20051123 snapshot and then they 20051128 snapshot.  The only
change that I've done between the two is update cygwin using the
cygwin-inst snapshot file.

Yes, I have no Mac OS X handy.  I have attached two hacked test
applications, which you can simply build with `gcc -o foo foo.c'.

The first one, GetVolInfo, should get a Cygwin path to any file on the
Mac OS X share.  It prints the volume information returned from the
share.


couple of files on the share.

The output of both tests might be helpful.

The second one, GetFileInfo, should be called on a few directories and a

Output is attached.

 $ cd /local/cygwin/dir && ls -i //MacOSX/share/dir

and

 $ cd //MacOSX/share && ls -i dir

And another thing to try. Could you please check (only with the latest

cd /tmp && ls -i //10.0.10.42/prehley/tmp
it returned
3776088840 GetFileInfo.c  3776088840 GetVolInfo.c  3776088848 inode_test

cd //10.0.10.42/prehley && ls -i tmp
it returned
