Actually all the file systems who do that on Linux (JFS, XFS,

I've always thought that was a stupid fix. Why not have the clients be
smarted and make them responsible for getting a new cookie if the old
one is hosed?
For linux, with the dcache, I'm not even sure that this would be all
the hard. Persumable Solaris could (does?) do the same?
