2.1.10 128-bit file ID

  • Article

A 128-bit file ID value uniquely identifies a file within a given volume. This identifier is generated and stored by the file system. The identifier SHOULD<11> be unique to the volume and stable until the file is deleted.

For file systems that do not support a 128-bit file ID, this field MUST be set to 0, and MUST be ignored.

For files for which a unique 128-bit file ID cannot be established, this field MUST be set to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, and MUST be ignored.
