The inode numbers themselves can't be used to detect changes -- inode
numbers don't necessarily change when the file is altered. The _other_
data in the inode (file size, mtime, etc) is certainly used to detect
changes -- but those are all easy to get to in FAT, inodes or no.
Now, if you want to look them up _by inode number_, then you'd need a
reverse mapping... but other than being slow and a PITA, that's still
do-able. (Of course, still better would be to change the code, if
possible, to be capable of doing a lookup by name).
