[comp.sys.m88k] Aviion control-point directories

pa@appmag.com (Pierre Asselin) (03/26/91)

DGUX has "control-point directories", i.e. directories with soft
limits on inodes and/or blocks in the subtree.

Q1: how are the blocks counted if a file is hard-linked both inside
    and outside of the subtree?

Q2: I assume they are specific to DG, (from the names of the system calls).
    Can anyone confirm this?

If I remember correctly, a CPD acts like a partition, in that you
can't have hard links between a file under a CPD, and outside of the
CPD.

Yes.

Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
