RE: Getting the nfs_fh of a specific file/dir from the kernel

["Menny Hamburger" <menny@exanet.com>]

We implement our own nfsd in user space - so the  kernel nfsd (as well
as the lockd) are disabled.
We need the handle in order to associate a kernel file handle with our
own file id.

Doesn't /proc/fs/nfsd/filehandle do what you want already?

See nfs-util/utils/mountd/cache.c:cache_get_filehandle(), or, for the
kernel side, linux/fs/nfsd/nfsctl.c:write_filehandle().

(Just out of curiosity--why are you doing this?)
