Interesting. So the uniqueid of the inode is not unique within the fs?
Or are the clients are mounting shares that span multiple filesystems?
Or, are we looking at a situation where the uniqueid is being quickly
reused for new inodes after the original inode is unlinked?

Should we be mixing in a fsid (or whatever the windows equivalent is)?
