No, if NFSD used ->encode_fh to encode the handle for the export directory we wouldn't even have that problem. NFSD directly encodes i_ino as 32-bit value for the legacy subdirectory export fs handle. So it will break whenever that particulat inode has a too large inode number. Check fs/nfsd/nfsfh.h:mk_fsid() for the glory details. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
