    I don't know much about NFS though, I imaged the NFS just fill the
    stat.st_nlink to return to userland by 0 if sillyrenamed dentry? (of
    course, I'm not saying let's emulate "i_nlink >= 1" on all
    filesystems. just about i_nlink == 0) I was thinking Al is working for
    it...

    And yeah, if it doesn't have consistency on system, I would agree it
    would not be meaningful.

    Thanks.
