Ahh, I see. These interfaces cannot be exercised much, given that google 
didn't relate them to libattr prominently..

Done that up to this point ;-) Nice and easy. 
Committed, attached, and public build is on the way.

Dave, you made my day, ahem, night. Thank you very much.

To a casual consumer of this thread: go, grab the xfs_reno.patch in the 
preceding mail, and the attached patch, apply both to a current version of 
xfsprogs, build, and read man xfs_reno. Seriously.

Hmm, any idea on how xfs can be tricked into generating 64 bit inodes without 
the need to create an excessive big test fs, or is this an accepted practice?

Note to myself: xfs_reno could use some mount option check. Forgot to remount 
one partition with inode32 and, consequently, moved the offending inodes to 
another 64 bit value..

Cheers,
Pete
