1) What is the purpose of FSCreationClassName, FSName and
LFCreationClassName in the LMI_UnixFile class? If my understanding is
correct, in the linux environment, it should be safe to ignore those,
because it is impossible for any two files on the filesystem to have
different paths and actually be the same file (following symlinks doesn't
count here). In other words, file's path should be enough to unambiguously
identify that file. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
What about hard links? Do they count? I think it's the {device ID, inode
number} pair that uniquely identifies a "physical file". Not the path though.
