Why is that required? You could very well just keep per inode information about fatal failures that occurred around. Report errors until that bit is explicitly cleared. Yes, that keeps some memory around until unmount if nobody clears it. But it's orders of magnitude less, and results in usable semantics. Andres -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
