Thanks, does anybody out there know how it works, just to be sure?

IIRC this is a Unix thing. The file pointer points to an inode. the inode will not change when you move a file around. It will not even change if you delete the file as long as it is referenced by an active file pointer (aka open file).

That said, I don't know how this relates to HFS(+) and Carbon.

bye. Andreas.
