Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems your patch records every IP
used by the client, rather than the *all* the IPs related to the set of
file systems being moved. So if there are several IPs for this set, you
will end up sending notifications only from those the client happened
to have talked to.

My point was, you move a set of file systems A, B and C, with
IPs X, Y, Z. You know what the addresses are, so from a
robustness point of view your best bet is to send SM_NOTIFY
messages from IPs X, Y, Z, regardless of whether the client has
been talking to all of them, or just one.
