Subject: RE: rm -rf -> Circular directory structure
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 1997 14:01:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <33EF7405.AADDD43E@crec.mipt.ru> (raw)

Looking at ...include/sys/types.h I found that ino_t is actually
unsigned short, that is only 16 bit in size. Thus, we (in 'rm' etc..)
do compare the lower 16 bits of prepared by hash_path_name()
32-bit integer.
  I think this is a main cause for $subj$, though the hashing
function itself is not as perfect as it could be (in theory).

PS: Or do I have incorrect header file?
