Nope.   There is no reason why the same inode should not be reused.

On ext4 (btrfs seems to be different):

$ touch test; ls -i test; rm test; touch test; ls -i test
656078 test
656078 test

jch

How about the attached patch?

Marc.

Note that O_NOFOLLOW seems to be Linux-only. Any idea how to handle it
on other ports?
