Hi,=0A=0AI've been thinking about how I could add a "virtual" directory ent= ry similar to netapp, namely a .snapshot. Obviously I'd want to do this at= runtime, but I'm having trouble attacking this problem.=0A=0AI've been loo= king at the ufs_lookup routines, seems thats the only place to tackle such = a feature? Or possibly inject a .snapshot entry as the last entry read in = a call to ufs_readdir ?=0A=0AI believe doing a ls -la on a netapp will not = return the .snapshot directory, only explicitly nameing the directory will = achieve the effects you want. This would be somewhere beneith namei ultima= tly in ufs_lookup?=0A=0ASorry I'm a bit rambling!=0A=0ACheers,=0A Shane=0A= =0A=0A
