I am sure I'm being really stupid regarding vnode allocation is some places but I'm not quite sure what the RIGHT thingto be doing is.. it's a simple module really, but I need a guide in this part.. I added SYMLINK support today, which seems to work, except that occasionally I get a panic("cleaned vnode isn't"); Now I can see why this might happen, but U can't see what I need to do to fix it.. +----------------------------------+ ______ _ __ | __--_|\ Julian Elischer | \ U \/ / On assignment | / \ julian@tfs.com +------>x USA \ in a very strange | ( OZ ) 300 lakeside Dr. oakland CA. \___ ___ | country ! +- X_.---._/ USA+(510) 645-3137(wk) \_/ \\ v
