Suppose you want to mv a directory file (with subdirectories) to another name (it is like grafting a subtree to another point), the namecache associated with the source directory file will be purged by calling cache_purge() (done in ufs_rename()?). However, the routine cache_purge() does not purge cache entries recursively down the subtree. Will this result in a lot of stale entries in the namecache? FreeBSD 3.1 no longer allows stale entries in the namei cache (FreeBSD 2.2.8 does). Thanks for any help. -------------------------------------------------- Zhihui Zhang.
