[Lustre-discuss] Information regarding the FILE HANDLE

[Oleg Drokin]

Hello!

   Well, the closest to nfs fh is probably lustre FID. (inode inum and generation in 1.8).

   Multiple things are: the open handle returned by MDS open, the FIDs, the nfs file handle constructed by lustre_nfs layer, the file descriptors returned from open(2), ...

Bye,
    Oleg
