The general idea is that f_fsid contains some random stuff such that the pair (f_fsid,ino) uniquely determines a file.
This, of course, is the exact POSIX definition of the st_dev part of struct stat: (st_dev, st_ino) uniquely identifies the file. -hpa -- [off-list ref] at work, [off-list ref] in private! "Unix gives you enough rope to shoot yourself in the foot." http://www.zytor.com/~hpa/puzzle.txt [off-list ref]
