The NFS clients certainly version 2 and 3 only use the "file handle"; the file handle can be decoded by the server. It filehandle does not contain the name, only the FSid, the inode number and the generation. >There is no way to get a name from an inode number. The nfs server knows how so it is clearly possible. It is not exported to userland but the kernel can find a file by its inumber.
