Dazuko could use the exported d_path. Then the filename the driver reports will be relative to the current root of the process that made the file access. But this is not a problem. The process which gets the dazuko events can easily check readlink /proc/PID/root and prepend that to the filename in the event. What do you think, John? Could you make dazuko use d_path on Linux? -- Sami _______________________________________________ Dazuko-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dazuko-devel
