The error is generated by /* getroot.c: get the root dentry for an NFS 
mount ...
	/* Start by getting the root filehandle from the server */
	ret = server->nfs_client->rpc_ops->getroot(server, mntfh, 
&fsinfo);
	if (ret < 0) {
		dprintk("nfs4_get_rootfh: getroot error = %d\n", -ret);
		goto out;
	}

So, what the .... is the root filehandle in this context and how do I 
define it?
