Just FYI:

Whoever uses this port of GNU Fileutils, should excercise care when
working with networked (NFS or Novell) drives.  The executables use
a custom version of stat() which gets the number of the first cluster
of a file as a substitute for the inode number which many of these
utilities use to decide if any two files are actually the same file.
This is fine, but that particular version of stat() doesn't have
backup solution for networked drives and for empty files on local
drives, where the cluster is unavailable.  So if you ever see a
message telling you that two different files are the same (e.g., cp
will refuse to copy a file into itself), you will know...
