You were just talking about device numbers on device files, which is st_rdev.
I hope you are not confusing st_dev and st_rdev.
POSIX.1 specifies that the pair of st_dev and st_ino uniquely identifies a
file (as long as the file still exists).
On the Hurd, st_dev is also called st_fsid. By convention, filesystem
servers use their PID as the st_fsid value for all their files.
