[OpenAFS] afs major number ?

[Ron Croonenberg]

Well i have OpenAFS working on OpenSI for a while now.

Things seem to work pretty stable, however we needed a "hack" in some SSI filesystem handling when
a process migrates to another clusternode.

We think we have a good solution for it instead of just a hack.

the question is, does AFS have a unique major number ?

this is very vague, but we're trying to come up with something like :

if (S_ISAFS(inode->i_mode)) {
    if ((inode->i_ino == path->ino &&
    inode->i_generation == path->generation &&
    par_mount(inode->i_sb->s_ssidev, path->ssidev)))
    return 1;
    }
