Could you walk me through the reasoning here - or point me to where it has been discussed. It seems to me that mount.nfs is the place to set nfs_client/identifier. It can be told (via /etc/nfs.conf or /etc/nfsmount.conf) how to generate and where to store the identifier. It can check the current value and update if needed. As long as the identifier is set before the first mount, there is no rush. Why does it need to be done in response to a uevent?? Thanks, NeilBrown
