Wow, strange.

Yes, that sounds good.  Given that, I'm wondering if we should try to
workaround this problem at all or rather wait to see if the vendor will
fix the issue.

Thanks.  This looks pretty much like a filesystem pretending to be
FAT-like.  There may be another problem lurking, which is, are the inode
numbers (called "FileId" or "IndexNumber" in Windows) persistant?  With
FAT this is not the case, and given the above, it might be a problem...

...or not.  I just realize that Cygwin doesn't even try to use the
FileId as inode number on filesystems with FILE_PERSISTENT_ACLS=3D=3DFALSE
so, never mind.

OTOH, does it support hardlinks?  If so, two hardlinks to the
same file would have different inode numbers on Cygwin.
