[PATCH] PATCH - knfsd in 2.5.6 - fsid= export option
Support fsid=<number> export option to be device number independent This patch was largely supplied by Steven Whitehouse <steve@gw.chygwyn.com> A new export option "NFSEXP_FSID" indicates that the ex_dev passed down is a user specified number, not a device number. It should be used in fsid_type==1 filehandles to identify the the exportpoint rather than the devid and inode (as in fsid_type == 0). This allows filehandles to be device-number independent so that when Linux changes device numbers on you (after reboot), your filesystems wont go stale. User-space support for this is in the nfs-utils CVS and will be in the next release (any release > 1.0).
