Use VFS_I to get to a 'struct inode' and from there you can look at the dentries on i_dentry list and traverse back through the path by looking at d_parent.

Can you grab a metadump before you repair the filesystem? Thanks, Ben _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
