Next time around, when you update the on-disk format, how about allowing for such a thing?
You could have a tree that maps from inode number to whatever you need to find a file. This shouldn't affect much more than file creation and deletion. Maybe it will allow for a more robust fsck as well, helping to justify the cost.
It would be really nice to be able to find all filenames that refer to a given inode number. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
