| 28 | This VFS module is part of the

|

| 32 | Samba uses file_id structs to uniquely identify files for locking purpose\&. By default the file_id contains the device and inode number returned by the
|
|---|
| 33 | stat()
|
|---|
| 34 | system call\&. As the file_id is a unique identifier of a file, it must be the same on all nodes in a cluster setup\&. This module overloads the
|
|---|
| 35 | SMB_VFS_FILE_ID_CREATE()
|
|---|
| 36 | operation and generates the device number based on the configured algorithm (see the "fileid:algorithm" option)\&.
