This can be easily cross-reported to LKML. If "diff" developers blame the

All we need is command line option which can turn off the comparison by dev/
inode. Does not sound like too much work.
Except that it does not scale. Working around a kernel/filesystem bug in
every single affected user space app is nowhere near as efficient as
just fixing the kernel/filesystem bug.
