The UniqueID value is unique over the scope of the entire server and is often greater than 2 power 32\&. This value often makes programs that are not compiled with LFS (Large File Support), to trigger a glibc EOVERFLOW error as this won\'t fit in the target structure field\&. It is strongly recommended to compile your programs with LFS support (i\&.e\&. with \-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) to prevent this problem\&.

Only one minor nit/change I would suggest is to change config option XATTR to CIFS_XATTR. I was thinking I might need one more iteration and so was going to include it in that next version. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I made that small change in my correction patch and went ahead and merged both of them. Thanks!
