I thought of using TID (Tree identifier; a unique ID for a resource in use by client) along with sharename. But, Server is free to reuse them when the tree connection closes and does not guarantee the same Tid for a particular resource across tree connections. Also, considering the UNC name of the resource (//server/share) may not be a good idea too as the cache will not be used when for e.g. IPaddress is used to mount. So, if a server does something like this: - export a share 'foo' (original server path: /export/vol1/foo) - client mounts and uses it - server unexports the share 'foo' - server exports 'foo' (original sever path: /export/vol2/foo) we have a bit of problem.. > validate the root directory of the share in some way? > I don't know if there is a way to do this.
