[Dovecot] Attachements with SIS : shauld all the same files share the same inode ?

[Yann Dupont]

Hello. I configured SIS , and all seems to work well, but I noticed 
something strange :

For exemple, this attachement :

6e/2d# ls -al 6e2df299* | sort -n

104 instance of -rw------- 104 vmail vmail 346584 16 oct.  17:47 
6e2df299fa96daec9b4735d07c494046429be4d6-ffd0d1xxxx

The files are hardlinked, so it seems ok, but I also see 9 others files 
in the same directory :


-rw-------   1 vmail vmail 346584 16 oct.  17:47 
6e2df299fa96daec9b4735d07c494046429be4d6-0519df2a94fc9a4e1f4100008a6b99b6
-rw-------   1 vmail vmail 346584 16 oct.  17:47 
6e2df299fa96daec9b4735d07c494046429be4d6-1790b92994fc9a4e1a4100008a6b99b6

as you can see, same prefix, If I compare them with diff, they are all 
the same files.

ls -i  show that 104 have the same inode, as expected, and the 9 
remaining files have different inodes.

I expected all the files share the same inodes. Is there something wrong 
here ?

My setup is debian squeeze + auto packages from
http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/

dovecot is  2:2.0.15-0~auto+21

thanks,
