Eric,
My bad, cxfs uses the sb_uuid, should have looked a little closer at the
patch. I assumed the worst from the heading (must have filtered the
"point" out of the heading :)

Well, this isn't removing the sb uuid... it's this special file type
XFS_DINODE_FMT_UUID... which is cxfs using?

Having said that if it is removed then it will force us to look at
another method to mount a cxfs filesystem, and also remove the necessity
for cxfs clients to not read the superblock (which is the only metadata
cxfs clients read off disk at this point)...
Regards,
Thanks,
