An ino_t is usually a 64 bit integer, and some file systems (such as
Linux's kernel NFS client) really uses the upper 32 bit. This can
lead to false positives in the directory loop detection in
FindAncestorLoop(). Increasing these two attributes (in
StorageFileInfo and Directory) to 64 bit adds little overhead, but
makes the check a lot safer.
A SimpleDatabase instance can now "mount" other Database instances at
certain locations. This is used to use a new SimpleDatabase instance
for each storage mount (issued with the "mount" protocol command).
Each such instance has its own database file, stored in the directory
that is specified with the "cache_directory" option.
