Hi David, thanks for your feedback! I agree with you that this name is a
bit confusing, we can easily change that! How about virtual-fsid?
I confess I'm not the best (by far!) to name stuff, so I'll be glad to
follow a suggestion from anyone here heheh

I also agree we could have this merged in your -next tree, and once a
new (good) name is proposed, I can re-submit with that and you'd replace
the patch in your tree, if that makes sense to you. Of course an extra
patch changing the name is also valid, if it's your preference.

Cheers,


Guilherme
