Susan,

You can execute an ls -i for each path (ls -i ../../blahblah). This returns
the inode for the file. If the inode is the same, the files are the same
(one inode for each file).

Hi Karl,
Thanks! The thing is, I can figure out where I am, but I need to figure
out where two Fpointers are pointing.

Say I have two Fpointers (VOC entries):

001 F
002 ../../this.path/that.path/BANANA
003 ../../this.path/that.path/D_BANANA

And another
001 F
002 /u1/ud/this.path/that.path/BANANA
003 /u1/ud/this.path/that.path/BANANA

How do I determine for certain that they are (or are not) pointing to the
same exact file?

Susan

Lee, this is on face value okay, but technically wrong; there is a chance
that filea in file system x has the same inode as fileb in file system y
share the same inode number. I wouldn't want to calculate those odds or
chances, but ...
Inode numbers are assigned per file system, I believe...
