Hi Steve,
The messages you're getting do indicate a serious problem, though the "bad
count" message itself is more of a warning. For most filesystems inodes can only
be used as many times as they have hard links, so the use count should be a
small number.
I took a quick look at coda and it appears to need a few changes. If Peter Braam
(or someone familiar with Coda) has time to work on the code, I could suggest
some changes.
Regards,
Bill
