--- Comment #13 from Robert Riemann <rob...@riemann.cc> --- In https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419302, Martin commented that: > Neil Brown clearly said that no userspace component can rely on device > numbers since kernel 2.4. Luckily he recommended an alternative: > > "That is really hard to provide in general. Possibly the best approach > is to use the statfs() systemcall to get the "f_fsid" field. This is > 64bits.
