fileid:mappin = fsname

This entry is to handle the case when your cluster filesystem can not
guarantee a stable stat.st_dev
and thus if st_dev can vary across the nodes in the cluster then
(stat.st_ino, stat.st_dev) will no longer be
a clusterwide invariant.

For those filesystems you need to set
fileid:mappin = fsname
and this changes samba to instead use (stat.st_ino, <mountpoint name>) instead.
