Hello, is there something which can be done server-side to work around the "Value too large for defined data type" problem with huge inode Numbers? First of all, I'm not shure if this is an NFS problem or one of the underlying filesystem. Background: I set up a new NFS-server (NFS4) recently. The server works fine so far with 64 bit Linux clients. It also mostly works with 32 bit Linux clients when either the stat system call is not used or "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" has been used. This is because on 32 bit Linux ino_t is not 64-bit otherwise. Unfortunately at least the 32bit Version of Debian stable (6.0) seems to break all over the place. E.g. in gnome when stat ~/.gnome2_private/ fails it is assumed that the directory has to be created which will of course make the subsequent call to mkdir also fail and break the whole desktop environment afterwords.
