Thanks, I will check the archives. I looked into stat.c stat.h fs.h and it seems that inodes can only keep one link information (or maybe I'm wrong).
I am trying to set up a cluster and looking for a _very_ simple scaleable distributed filesystem solution (the opengfs, lustre patches didn't work).
Thanks, Indraneel
