The reason why the IDs for new filesystems go into exportfs.h to make sure they don't clash for different filesystems. While re-using the same ID to mean a different format is technically fine, it's not very nice for people trying to e.g. decipher NFS traffic in wireshark. Somewhere on my TODO list is an item to walk through all the filesystems and make them send out different IDs for new requests that don't overlap while still accepting their legacy IDs for traffic from the time before a server reboot. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
