Good point.
I thought of using TID (Tree identifier; a unique ID for a resource in
use by client) along with sharename. But, Server is free to reuse them
when the tree connection closes and does not guarantee the same Tid for
a particular resource across tree connections.
Also, considering the UNC name of the resource (//server/share) may not
be a good idea too as the cache will not be used when for e.g. IPaddress
is used to mount.
So, if a server does something like this:
- export a share 'foo' (original server path: /export/vol1/foo)
- client mounts and uses it
- server unexports the share 'foo'
- server exports 'foo' (original sever path: /export/vol2/foo)
we have a bit of problem..

I don't know if there is a way to do this.
