No. And the on-disk representation may be different, too - inodes, filesystems, sparsity, (transparent) compression and encryption, name it; the files might even be on different machines, that's quite expected... ;-) From a practical perspective, files x and y are identical if and only if `diff x y` returns 0. It's really just about the content. HTH, Alex
