Is there a way to access the inode generation number from user mode? If not, is there any other information that could be used to uniquely identify a file, possibly in combination with the inode? If this is also not possible, what way would be preferable to store such information? Just as a named attribute or is there a more efficient way? I assume my application has full control over the filesystem (no other writers), so it could generate a unique number along with each file creation. Not exactly the generation number, but something unique, which is sufficient.
Thanks for any hints. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
