Sorry, I guess I misunderstood. but again, if nodes are created automatically, there will be some strange behavior from the filesystem's point of view. for example, "ls" can create an transitory node, or a user can create a node in the directory that is read-only to him.

After I submit my report in middle March, I probably have more time on Hurd.
