Is there a way to uniquely identify this file? Doing a checksum on the
image file is not feasible given the size of the image. Also, uuidgen

Uniquely identify a file? You want to uniquely identify against what
collection of objects? If it is only the filesystem on which the file
resides then the inode number should suffice. You might need to
provide more details as to what 'uniquely identify' means.
