It also modifies the test java/nio/file/FileStore/Basic.java to check for duplicate FileStores instead of just two successive stores being equal. In the test the call to FileUtils.areAllMountPointsAccessible() is replaced with FileUtils.areFileSystemsAccessible() and the former method is removed from jdk.test.lib.util.FileUtils as this was its only use.

This issue is going a bit of time to review as it changes the meaning of 
equals/hashCode and has several other implications that will take time 
to work through. I will try to get to it soon, but maybe not this week.
