[openbeos] Re: A note to file system writers

I thought this bug was located in Tracker... wasn't there a 
similar illed behaviour before in R5 and it was fixed in OT ?
or was it just a side effect that got fixed ? now I wonder why 
it doesn't trigger in R5.

I'll go update NFS since it has that problem in Zeta.
Though I'm pretty sure there is ..
do I have to fill in the correct block dev id and inodes for 
the parent or does the vfs correct it by itself ?
