Regarding NTFS, can you point to a real gnulib-using application that is misbehaving because of this? I've seen that some NTFS implementations *do* have usable inode support. Both cygwin and fuse-based ones do, so you must mean mingw.
Yes, I mean mingw. I was quoting MS docs.

We would need to reimplement stat on MinGW. So it would completely bypass the C library and should have comparable performance. If not, you pay the price on MinGW only.
I'll run some tests on a real Windows machine. Paolo
