Work around a buggy NFS servers that assign the same
(device number, inode number) pair to two distinct files.
This bug can occur with Linux NFS servers
that export all local filesystems as a single NFS filesystem,
if a local device number (st_dev) exceeds 255,
or if a local inode number (st_ino) exceeds 16777215.
This bug also can occur with Network Appliance NFS servers
in snapshot directories; see Netapp bug#1780.
