this seems pretty wimpy to me, since in the absolute worst case, the nfs server just uses a hash table to map from random handles onto whatever tuple is needed to specify the source block (dev:inode or whatever). is this an issue only because handles are of a particular size? I have a hard time imagining that the time or space overhead of a hash entry per block would cause performance problems. ah, or is it merely that handles should persist across server restarts?

this is a yucky workaround. it used to be a nice feature of Linux that you could toss random disks onto a server, and have clients remain oblivious.
