Add Inode information?

[vreixo]

Currently libisofs internal structures follow ISO-9660 idea of store file atributes together with directory entry. I wonder whether we should add an IsoInode object to the public tree, where attributes will be stored. IsoNode would be then just a directory entry, with a ptr to the IsoInode. An IsoInode could be shared by several IsoNodes. Note that this will be an internal design question, user won't never see the IsoInode.

Advantages:

• Full-featured POSIX model
• Possibility to create hard links on Image.

Drawbacks:

• Extra memory cost (ptr in IsoNode and reference count in IsoInode)
• Most users do not expect this behavior.

At a first sight, I vote for adding this new feature.

This works ok for me.. but It probably needs feedback. wireless Air Jordan
