I do not think so. smbfs will be a LOT simpler with the dcache
stuff. It's a rather complete rewrite. But for NFS exports you need
inode numbers that are persistent over the complete life time of the
file system. Even the dcache scheme can not guarantee this. The only
way would be to never throw away dcache entries and use the adress of
the dcache as the inode number.
