[brlug-general] Two directories, one inode?

[-ray]

Do you have anything mounted with mount --bind?  We use it on our 
mailservers so everyone has the same "filespace" but we can keep actual 
directories on different filesystems:

[root at coach ~]# ll -d -i /home/Students/Z/W0398506  /home/stu/09/Z/W0398506
4358377 drwx-----x 3 W0398506 W0398506 4096 Dec 18 05:30 /home/stu/09/Z/W0398506
4358377 drwx-----x 3 W0398506 W0398506 4096 Dec 18 05:30 /home/Students/Z/W0398506
