Today I notice a problem : where a new file were created, it takes the = same inode that a file already have.=20 So the previous file were lost, like if an hard link was made. philippe@micro11:~$ ls -li $v total 30051016 14 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 93849600 6 f=E9vr. 14:51 f2_20110130= _174456.ts 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 8606489600 9 janv. 15:42 f3_20110107_2= 05154.ts 14 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 93849600 6 f=E9vr. 14:51 f3_20110206= _144851.ts 19 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 10623052800 6 f=E9vr. 19:55 f3_20110206= _145141.ts 15 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 4688870400 19 janv. 23:14 f4_20110119_2= 04007.ts The file created today is f3_20110206_144851.ts : it reuse inode 14 that the file f2_20110130_174456.ts already had. On the third column, y= ou can see there=20 is only one link (and not 2 as if ln was used). Of course, I can use a snapshot to recover the old file (f2_20110130_17= 4456.ts).=20 philippe@micro11:~$ ls mnt/snap2/capture -li total 32584848 20 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 4812800 5 f=E9vr. 17:43 canal_20110= 205_172318.ts 14 -rw-r--r-- 0 philippe users 13390412800 31 janv. 01:00 f2_20110130_1= 74456.ts=20 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 8606489600 9 janv. 15:42 f3_20110107_2= 05154.ts=20 15 -rw-r--r-- 1 philippe users 4688870400 19 janv. 23:14 f4_20110119_2= 04007.ts I run Archlinux x86_64 on 2.6.37.
