I'm not quite sure I understand this. Why would you distinguish operations based on whether you have a pathname or an inode for an object ? Are you trying to cater for the case where you're holding an open fd for a file which has been deleted, and thus has no pathname? - James -- James Morris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
