Why not add a crc on the file name; creation date, and creation time? Perhaps a combined crc to act as a tie breaker but those must be and remain unique. That as a random access key into a lookup table containing the remaining elements of the directory structure including the lfn if one exists. I'll suggest storing the file name last in that table to allow for maximum variability possibility in terms of length. jude <jdashiel AT eagle1 DOT eaglenet DOT com>
