As someone who's often in wd mode (and been finding problems with it on and off since 1998!), I'm glad to hear this. Particularly With the 0/0 "strong" mode, I see no reason not to make this change. Currently I'm not using coda so heavily because there's a locking problem in the NetBSD kernel code. But, I may get around to fixing it. (For anyone inclined, I think it's in the VOP_LOOKUP implementation, where there are 3 separate rules for IS_DOT, IS_DOTDOT, and regular, and the IS_DOT* cases aren't handled right.) Besides robustness, which is key, I think the next big thing to tackle is paging directory info out of rvm to container files on the server; this should remove the filesystem size limit that's now a big problem. Perhaps the 256k/dir limit can go as well. -- Greg Troxel <gdt_at_ir.bbn.com>Received on 2006-11-20 10:33:22
