(Note: > XFS already has an option like that) A general question - is there a known list of common applications that have problems with 64-bit inodes? It's been mentioned several times, but I'm wondering if any effort is going toward fixing those apps so that 5 years from now (or whenever) we CAN have 64-bit inodes. If it relates to on-disk formats like ustar, we can always work with something like star to ensure that it is useful in the future.
