inodes

Documentation

Overview

Package inodes contains the logic for allocating inode numbers.

We just store each inode as a key in the database. The overhead is roughly 8 bytes per inode. Inodes are never freed, currently. 2**64 files oughta be enough for a while.

Functions

func Allocate

func Allocate(bucket *bolt.Bucket) (uint64, error)

Allocate returns the next available inode number, and marks it used.

Returns OutOfInodes if there are no free inodes.

func Dynamic

func Dynamic(parent uint64, name string) uint64

Dynamic returns a dynamic inode. The result is guaranteed to never collide with inodes returned from Allocate.
