XFS recently defaulted to allowing > 32 bit inode numbers, and btrfs can let inode numbers creep past 2^32 as well. While most applications don't care one bit about st_ino returned from a stat() call, the sad fact is that you'll get EOVERFLOW from stat32 if the inode number is too big to fit in 32 bits, even if you just wanted to get the file size. I have a script (http://sandeen.net/misc/summarise_stat.pl) which Greg Banks wrote; it can check a path or list of filenames for binaries which contain non-64bit-safe stat calls. A quick look over my F18 install finds the situation to be only slightly in favor of executables using 64-bit variants: # ./summarize-stat.pl /usr 270229 91.5% are scripts (shell, perl, whatever) 22633 7.7% don't use any stat() family calls at all 913 0.3% use 32-bit stat() family interfaces only 1335 0.5% use 64-bit stat64() family interfaces only 73 0.0% use both 32-bit and 64-bit stat() family interfaces and it's not just weird obscure packages: # ./summarize-stat.pl `rpm -ql sendmail` 69 78.4% are scripts (shell, perl, whatever) 2 2.3% don't use any stat() family calls at all 17 19.3% use 32-bit stat() family interfaces only Anyway, if you want to check your package(s) and maybe make them 64-bit-stat safe, the perl script above might help. It's more than just -DFILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, since you'll need to be sure not to overflow any large values you get back from stat64 etc. Might be nice to get out ahead of this before, say, btrfs comes into wide use. I don't know if there could be any more of a formal effort in this direction?
