Maybe a new "INODE NUMBERS" section below the "SERVICE FORMATTING AND DELIMITERS" section.

Also clarify the use of UniqueID when serverino is used with nounix. Thanks to Jeff Layton for explaining the no so clear details. Signed-off-by: Suresh Jayaraman <sjayaraman@suse.de> --- docs-xml/manpages-3/mount.cifs.8.xml | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
