+
+       <para>Samba uses file_id structs to uniquely identify files
+       for locking purpose. By default the file_id contains the device
+       and inode number returned by the <command>stat()</command> system call.
+       As the file_id is a unique identifier of a file, it must be the same
+       on all nodes in a cluster setup. This module overloads the
+       <command>SMB_VFS_FILE_ID_CREATE()</command> operation and
+       generates the device number based on the configured algorithm
+       (see the "fileid:algorithm" option).
