Shouldn't this only get set when the filesystem copies it's uuid to the superblock? And then in the get uuid ioctl, if s_uuid_len is zero we can return -ENOENT to indicate the filesystem doesn't have a UUID, rather that require userspace to determine a filesystem doesn't have a valid UUID somehow... -Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
