Hi !
Is that normal, that arp -a doesn't show any entry in the arp table ?
I have these network interfaces:

It seems to me that we can lock at the vnode layer AND at the inode layer.
Since an inode is always associated with a vnode, and is accessed via its
vnode, I do not see the reason why we should lock the inode after having
locked the vnode. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks a lot.
