  Using a full path name as a file handle would not work because the
  server would need to know the volume's mount point on the client in
  order to translate the client's path name to a path name on the
  server; this would require keeping state on the server (or having
  the client strip off the mount point from the pathname).

  Also, since security in NFS is enforced by controlling access to the
  file handle, making file handles easy to guess would pose a security
  problem. And NFS certainly doesn't need any more of those.
