The administration would kill me. I would prefer to avoid that. (note that the check isn't completely removed, it's "only" nullified for NFS-mounted files. We use AFS for most things here, so the vast majority of the machines that I have to care about do not have any NFS files. The few that do are also limited-access machines. Still, I'd prefer a better check than nothing for those NFS files) Any advice on how to kick AIX so the st_dev+st_ino check will work right is also welcome. It baffles me why AIX does things the way it does. It kinda looks like the values it uses are pointers to some other info, and maybe *that* info is constant for a given file, but I haven't had the time to pursue that yet. --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
