[PVFS-developers] libpvfs: rename bug

[Porter Don]

Ok, so I have a fix that should always do the right thing.  Attached is an
appended version of the patch I sent before.

The kernel module didn't have a handy place to keep fs_ino.  The more I
thought about it, the more wonky it seemed for the manager to trust the
client to tell it the correct fs_ino, since the manager is the keeper of
that info anyway.  

So, I took the line in mgr:do_open() where the fs_ino of the ack is set and
moved it before the md_open call and set the incoming req instead.  Thus,
all metadata files are created with the proper fs_ino.  This field shouldn't
be changed by any other functions, so this should get it right, thus
allowing library applications to rename files created by the kernel.

Thanks!

Don
