Follow-up Comment #2, bug #17877 (project findutils):
I've found the following about st_ino in POSIX:
In definitions:
3.175 File Serial Number
A per-file system unique identifier for a file.
In sys/stat.h:
ino_t st_ino File serial number.
The st_ino and st_dev fields taken together uniquely identify the file
within the system.
I can't see any requirement about st_ino having to be stable, only that it
has to be unique.
Can you please forward this bug report to gnulib?
Thanks
