It reduces my shadow X11R5 tree from 12MB of symlinks to a mere 800kB, quite a difference! I recognize the technique as the one applied to the Ultrix file system a couple of years ago, it made a similar impact there... Again, thank you for a very nice hack! -- tore -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tore Haraldsen, Statens Datasentral A/S - SDS, Norway email: toreh@bootes.sds.no
