An inode can point to any number of valid paths to that file. Think of multiple mounts of a filesystem at different places in the tree. (Hm, let's mount /dev/hdd8 at /etc, /tmp/etc, /var/etc, and /home/foo/etc ) So reconstruction the original path from a inode is almost impossible. Also remember per-user namespaces :) Did that answer your question? greg k-h _______________________________________________ linux-security-module mailing list linux-security-moduleat_private http://mail.wirex.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-security-module
