Subject: Re-exporting NFS shares with a generated fsid as a UUID?
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 09:49:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <054308ba-bad7-4e61-a11d-34f041399543@gmail.com> (raw)

I've been experimenting with re-exporting NFS shares and using the 
external fsidd service via the 'reexport' option - which all seems to 
work OK

As it is possible to use a UUID as a fsid for an export, would it 
possible to allow an automatically generated fsid as a UUID - i.e. 
instead of talking to an external service to provide a fsid, just 
generate a UUID which would be a hash (of some kind) of the exported 
path ? i.e. no need to use an external database to supply a consistent 
fsid ?

Thanks

James Pearson
