Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 10:17:43 -0400 Message-ID: <87ipnlcbg8.fsf@inspiron.ap.columbia.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hello, Does NFS4 still depend on inode generation numbers? I understand that earlier NFS versions used file handles based on inode and generation number, but it seems to me that this shouldn't be required anymore with the (stateful) NFS4.
