/And/ another thing.../And/ another thing...Posted Jul 7, 2006 15:40 UTC (Fri) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054)In reply to: Filesystems aged like sharp cheese by Max.Hyre Parent article: The 2006 Linux Filesystems Workshop (Part III) It just occurred to me that renaming files to numbers could mess things up if the directory structure depends on the filename lengths. So the rename would have to be something the same length as the original (leading zeroes?). Which means trouble when the original name is shorter than the new name.... The fix is left as an exercise for the reader. :-)

/And/ another thing... Posted Jul 15, 2006 11:41 UTC (Sat) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] The rename might well need to come up with something which *hashes* to the same value as the original. Good luck making *that* work for more than one file a year. :)
