Well, I have to admit that I'm a _tiny_ bit nervous that some odd OS or filesystem has special magic st_dev rules so that it changes randomly even within a filesystem, but that would be very non-posix (think of the confusion it would cause standard UNIX tools like 'find -xdev' etc), so it's more a worry of "I have no idea what st_dev means on Windows" than anything really solid.
