<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This VFS module is part of the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
suite.</para>
<para>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 <command>stat()</command> 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
<command>SMB_VFS_FILE_ID_CREATE()</command> operation and
generates the device number based on the configured algorithm
(see the "fileid:algorithm" option).
</para>

<title>OPTIONS</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>fileid:algorithm = ALGORITHM</term>
<listitem>
<para>Available algorithms are <command>fsname</command>
and <command>fsid</command>. The default value is
<command>fsname</command>.
</para>
<para>The <command>fsname</command> algorithm generates
device id by hashing the kernel device name.
</para>
<para>The <command>fsid</command> algorithm generates
the device id from the <command>f_fsid</command> returned
from the <command>statfs()</command> syscall.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>fileid:mapping = ALGORITHM</term>
<listitem>
<para>This option is the legacy version of the
<command>fileid:algorithm</command> option, which was used in earlier
versions of fileid mapping feature in custom Samba 3.0 versions.

<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
