Network filosofy question?

[David_Weisman%anvil.UUCP at harvard.harvard.edu]

I am curious about how people have implemented networked file
systems (RFS, NFS, others) to handle inode refcounts (di_nlink).
Specifically, how do these systems insure refcount integrity
over network or node failures, and what if anything can fsck do
to rebuild the refcounts when some of the links originate from
other nodes/filesystems?

If anyone is awake, I'll summarize and post.  Thanks very much.
