==== Persistent File Handles ====

* available on 'Continuously Available' SMB3 shares
* allows disconnected clients to reconnect
* like durable handles, but with strong guarantees!

==== Persistent Handles : Challenges ====

* protocol is _blue_easy_
** wip patches for the protocol head exist since many years
** extended patches for protocol head on ML from contributors

* persistence/guarantees are _red_hard_
** strategies for guarantees:
*** filesystem specific
*** generic, with tdb/ctdb extensions: \\ %
essentially per-record persistence
