Can you please list the POSIX standard, section, and line number which

across reboots, and hot plugs/unplugs?

A particular file on the system must not change st_dev while the system
is running.

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/sys/stat.h.html

I don't actually see that requirement listed there. It says that st_dev must be unique, and that all files are uniquely identified by st_ino and st_dev.

There's nothing there that says the mapping cannot change with time...just that it has to be unique.
