Trond and Anna, this patch makes obvious one problem with the udev
approach.
We cannot depend fully on stable uniquifiers. The conversation on the
userspace side has come full circle to asserting we use a mount
option.
Do you still want us to keep this approach, or will you accept a mount
option as:
- first mount in a namespace sets the identifier
- subsequent mounts with conflicting identifiers return an error
If we keep this udev approach, this patch isn't necessary but does
greatly
reduce the chances of having clients with unstable identifiers.
No one can be blamed for ignoring this, but it would be a relief to
get this
problem solved so it can stop burning our time.
Please advise,

Attempts to work toward solutions in this area seem to be ignored, the
questions still stand. Until we can sort out and agree on a direction,
self-NACK to this patch.
