    Hello,
    
    I need to port a module that implements some sort of file system tracing via 
    overriding syscalls from 2.4 to 2.6.
    It's purpose is to report every change (rm, creat, rename, mv) of the 
    filesystem to a daemon that mirrors the whole filesystem in a database.
    This communication was done by using the full pathnames of the modified 
    objects.
    Since there's no way to identify an exact pathname that corresponds to an 
    inode (when using the inode hooks), what other possibilities are there to 
    keep the daemon up to date?
    
    Regards,
    Gerd
