Hi, I am using a software which identifies files by it's unique file id/inode. I have been recording file id changes of files in my pool over the last year and noticed that the file id changes every few weeks or so (around 20 times duing the last year) for files which I didn't (manually) copy/move. I could imagine that a balancing move changes it, but that shouldn't happen that often in my setup.
Could you shed some light on how these files ids are created in the first place and what's the reason for changes. Thank you!
