Unfortunately that doesn't work for files created prior to Lustre 2.0, or
files with components of their path created before Lustre 2.0,  The link
EA is missing from the MDT inode of such files, which is what fid2path
appears to use. This was a real bummer for us, and I'd love for someone to
tell me that I'm wrong. Please?
