Why should UFIDs be unique across all possible file systems? How is uniqueness for UFIDs
ensured?

What will be an ideal response?

Uniqueness is important because servers that may be attached to different networks may eventually be
connected, e.g. by an internetwork, or because a file group is moved from one server to another. UFIDs can be
made unique by including the address of the host that creates them and a logical clock that is increased
whenever a UFID is created. Note that the host address is included only for uniqueness, not for addressing
purposes (although it might subsequently be used as a hint to the location of a file).
