Sorry, I forgot. It's Linux 2.2.10 and linux-coda-5.2.3-linux2.2.9.tgz
as coda module.

OK. I'm beginning to understand: the value of 'va_fileid' must match
the inode number calculated from the Fid.

But what is still not clear: when venus sets up the local directory
structure, does it choose the Fids so that the calculated inode number
matches the actual inode number of the local file? How can it do this?

Thanks,
