That's not the behavior that I expected. Also, it's not useful behavior--at least, it's not useful for the vast majority of real-world applications. In contrast, it is useful for 'ls -i' to print the inode number of the root of the mounted file system, for 'find -inum' to use that inode number, and so forth. I can understand why readdir might have the behavior that you describe: it might be more efficient internally. But that doesn't make it correct, or even "expected". It's a bug in readdir. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
