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.
