Really?
Apart from the swapping of extents, reno uses standard calls doesn't it,
in which case any movement of inodes will have the parent pointers
updated by the normal vnode ops (e.g. mkdir, rename) in the kernel.

The ones not yet released I guess :)
It is a released and existing feature on XFS for Irix, that we are back
