<div class="Ih2E3d">I'm no expert, but my understanding is that make_ref() doesn't make a<br></div>
particularly unique reference.</blockquote><br><br>You're right. But for what I need in this particular case it's perfect. It only has to be unique per node, and only a few million times. I could even use a counter, but then I'd have to have a process on each node just to own the counter.<br>
<br>I'll use some combination of make_ref() and now() and it'll be fine. I just wonder if it isn't a weakness in how phash2 works with refs?<br><br></div>
