A look inside the OCFS2 filesystemA look inside the OCFS2 filesystemPosted Sep 17, 2010 5:11 UTC (Fri) by kevinm (guest, #69913)Parent article: A look inside the OCFS2 filesystem
I wonder why the special lock handling was needed for deleting - couldn't a node holding a file open just create a link to it in the // system file area? Then you can just have the normal "if you're removing the last link, delete it" behaviour.

How do you know that last link? The fs does not maintain a cluster-wise usage count. Too expensive. Also, one has to account for node crashes. What if the node that had the possible last link dies?
