Somebody explained to me that this is in fact the NFS transaction ID: NFS Requests and Replies Sun NFS (Network File System) requests and replies are printed as: src.xid > dst.nfs: len op args src.nfs > dst.xid: reply stat len op results sushi.6709 > wrl.nfs: 112 readlink fh 21,24/10.73165 wrl.nfs > sushi.6709: reply ok 40 readlink "../var" sushi.201b > wrl.nfs: 144 lookup fh 9,74/4096.6878 "xcolors" wrl.nfs > sushi.201b: reply ok 128 lookup fh 9,74/4134.3150 In the first line, host sushi sends a transaction with id 6709 to = wrl (note that the number following the src host is a transaction id, = not the source port). The request was 112 bytes, excluding the UDP and= IP headers. The operation was a readlink (read symbolic link) on f= ile handle (fh) 21,24/10.731657119. (If one is lucky, as in this case, = the file handle can be interpreted as a major,minor device number pa= ir, followed by the inode number and generation number.) Wrl replies = =E2=80=98ok=E2=80=99 with the contents of the link. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
