Well Samba3 has been generating these volume-id's using a hash
on the name for a long time. Samba4 uses the ino from the directory
containing the share. It doesn't use a uuid. We're not talking
about the same thing. Samba4 uses uuids in RAW_QFS_OBJECTID_INFORMATION:
which in Samba3 is returned as zero.
