    Can you send a link to this thread?

    This would mean something like storing the identity of all parents (and
    grandparents) of an inode for every one of its paths.  I don't think
    it's workable.  Remember that all I need is the ability to cross mountpoints.
    That would mean storing information on one filesystem about another filesystem,
    assuming there always mounted the same way.  No.

    Is that file_permission or inode_permission?  What would be its prototype?
