| I would rather brand the filesystem with the ID of the host. The
| starting situation is an "unmarked" filesystem. If a host detects the
| mounting of an "unmarked" filesystem, it will brand it with it's ID. If
| it detects a filesystem that has an ID that differs from the host's ID,
| it is a foreign filesystem. Seems quite simple to me...
But then you have to put that information on the disk, and you're
back to trusting the disk. "Um, yeah, I'm local. Trust me."
