One further question relating to hashify:

How is the hash value created ? What is it based on? - Just the file 
contents, or (some of - which?) file metadata also?

I have a strange test case here where two binary equal files in the same 
file system, same name, same locations but in two guest did not get 
hashified to the same hash value, and I an trying to understand why?

amd64 part4 # ls -il vservers/machine95/usr/bin/bc
2205290 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 84952 jan.  26 18:36 
vservers/machine95/usr/bin/bc

amd64 part4 # ls -il vservers/machine96/usr/bin/bc
