[ Resent per Bruce's request] Talking with Neil and Bruce, it seems somewhere down the line UUIDs started to taking precedence over the setting fsid= export option when composing file handles which is wrong. This patch restores fsids taking precedence over UUIDs during file handing composing. One side note, this also can be done from mountd. See "[PATCH 5/9] Dynamic Pseudo Root - Release 3" (http://linux-nfs.org/pipermail/nfsv4/2008-November/009459.html) Either way will work... steved. Author: Steve Dickson <steved@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 14 15:48:20 EST 2008 When determining the fsid_type in fh_compose(), the setting of the FID via fsid= export option needs to take precedence over using the UUID device id.
