Those decimal values match the debug output from that kpropertiesdialog patch. Sorry for the delay; it turns out statx is available on my system, so 'stat_dev(buff)' called: inline static uint16_t stat_mode(struct statx &buf) { return buf.stx_dev_major; } which is always 8 on my system. I propose changing it to combine stx_dev_major and stx_dev_minor: inline static uint32_t stat_dev(struct statx &buf) { return (buf.stx_dev_major * 100) + buf.stx_dev_minor; } so for example: $ stat /usr/bin/file | grep Device Device: 804h/2052d Inode: 9168 Links: 1 $ stat ~/.bashrc | grep Device Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 97 Links: 1 "DEVICE" (from kpropertiesdialog) would be, respectively: 804 803 I am not an expert on these low-level stat calls, but that seems to make sense to me anyway :) REPOSITORY R241 KIO REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D28388 To: dfaure, trmdi, ahmadsamir, meven Cc: kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, cblack, GB_2, michaelh, ngraham, bruns
