Hmmm. OK, been looking at this closer, and I think I was not right
in my initial NAK. For SMB1 the only way to get the ino information
in SMB1 is to change the trans2 call to use SMB_FIND_ID_BOTH_DIRECTORY_INFO
instead of SMB_FIND_FILE_BOTH_DIRECTORY_INFO.

As SMB1 is dead/dying I'm not sure we need to do this work. If we define
returning 0 for finfo->ino as being "value not fetched" (which is what
the current gvfs caller does for uid/gid values) then your patch is good to go.

The gvfs (or other callers) can check the returned finfo->ino field
and if it's zero then fall back to doing the old libsmb_stat() call
to get that info if needed. That way we're no worse than we were with
SMB1, and significantly faster with SMB2.

Jeremy.
