Re: [Relfs-devel] New RelFS prototype, with query ability - and binary release

[<rel...@li...>]

Hi Vincenzo et al,

As far as I can see the only way round this is to use the physical part of the 
disk as the id of the file, and the very long name as the human readable 
format that a user chooses.
So it means going to down to disk level to find out a unique identifier, like 
cylinders and heads and sectors, or even disk address!
although there is the problem of transferring between disks, which would mean 
relfs depending on the human readable format maybe maybe not, as transfering 
it would take the first available numbers of an id that is not an address but 
an incremental number that relfs would recognise as such, it being not on the 
same disk as the operating system, but transferring to a disk would have to 
be different.
Does this give any light to the obnoxious problem of:

->"get(ting) around what to do with identical filenames in one directory."
