No, I have been running on 64-bit systems for years. That output above is on openSUSE 12.1 64-bit. > If the system is 64-bit even the plain stat handles 64-bit inodes just > fine. With *plain stat* you mean the *32-bit stat* listed above ? Is it then safe to switch all XFS partitions to be mounted with inode64 on 64-bit systems? Also for NFS v3 exports? >From the XFS FAQ I read that it should work, also for NFS v3, and that I can try it and switch back if there are problems, so I will give it a try!
