- Subject: Re: tosfs, faster hash function...

- As Julian pointed out, CRCs cannot be guaranteed to be unique. For that
- reason, I don't think it's a good idea to use them for inodes in tosfs.
- The current scheme is inefficient for some purposes, but much safer,
- and I'll take safety over efficiency any day.
