I haven't looked at the code in detail yet, but the real value add for userspace nfs servers and similar would be globally unique handles. This of course requires filesystem support, but having a way to export the filesystem handle would also simplify nfsd a lot so that it doesn't have to rely on hacked support to pass this in from userspace which gets it from statfs, assuming f_fsid has parts of a uuid in it, or blkid. This might be as simple as adding an s_uuid array to the superblock and having some simple routines to iterate it, or we might make that an export operation to allow a bit more flexibility. -- 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
