I don't see that there is anywhere that explicitly states that the translator connection protocol requires holding the underlying node send right in order to stay attached as the active translator on that node. Nor is there an unavoidable need for that requirement. The parent filesystem could just get dead-name notification on the fsys control port or reap stale control ports at convenient times.
But it seems like a reasonable convention to set in the protocol, and it avoids needing to implement any of that. It just ought to be documented in the fsys.defs comments. I've changed tmpfs to hold onto its realnode reference. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
