Hi David,
you're right. The name cache is system-wide.
I still need to understand the difference between a vnode's
v_cache_src and v_cache_dst (IOW, a namecache's nc_src and nc_dst),
and the hash chain which finds them.
(I knew I should have elaborated! ;-)
I took a look at related files in 5.0. (I am not familiar with
freebsd's release procedures, and have assumed that 'current' is the
testing/in-development code which is the pre-release to 5.0.) The
vnode recycling code has undergone non-trivial changes. As the seg fault
now recurs frequently, I may have to investigate the modifications.
Thanks for your reply.
regards,
ali
