Hmmm, I'm a little surprised, btrfs doesn't actually maintain a link count for directories. If you use the stat program on /t it should say the link count is one. (please try this). The btrfs mkdir call doesn't check the link count either. Could you please triple check another FS wasn't mounted on top of /t? -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
