I believe the answer to your question is No. Meaning, Yes an inode number could be recycled, in the present filesystem, although that inode number exists for some other object in a snapshot gone by. AFAIK. Informed guesses aside, here's what I really have to say: You must have a special case, if you care about this. Because a snapshot is treated as a different device, it's allowed for a new inode to be created in the present filesystem, having the same inode number. Generally speaking, there's no reason you should care if an inode number gets recycled. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
