Subject: Re: [netatalk-admins] DIDs - an idea -or- I didn't read the AFP specs completely yet

A netatalk user has forwarded me his source tree in which he
implements persistent DIDs. The approach he took was to derive DIDs
from inode numbers, knowing full well that any volume spanning
multiple filesystems will cause trouble and naturally avoiding such a
thing.
I'm currently in the process of un-fixing the things he's fixed in his
source (various patches to fix this and that) to produce a patch that
will apply cleanly to a distribution. If anyone, like me, is truly
desperate for persistent DIDs, please let me know. I'd be happy to
forward you a patch, once I have one that works.
Thanks, Roland, for bailing me out.
