hello,

 Im working on implementing some code on AIX. I have a
problem that there is no name cache access to end
users in AIX, but I do know that it implements NFS4
i.e. the underlyign architecture is pretty much the
same.

So the question is, how do I get hold of pathname
given vnode*/(inode, devno, generation no) -without
relying on the name cache (on freebsd)?

thanks
-kamal
