FYI, I've applied a rather big patch which reintroduced d_ino and which tries hard to generate correct (aka "identical to stat(2)") inode numbers for d_ino on all systems. This includes a slightly expensive method to determine inode numbers in a couple of situations(*): - local NTFS on NT4 - remote NTFS on Win2K - remote NT4/Win2K NTFS on XP and above. While I tried to optimize the expensive inode evaluation as much as possible, a certain slow down in the above situations might have been unavoidable. For the adventurous of you, try the next developer's snapshot of Cygwin from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ Corinna (*) For the curious, the above situations are determined by the OS support of the FileIdBothDirectoryInformation flag in calls to NtQueryDirectoryFile. -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
