Hi, If you use inode64, the inodes will be spread all along the disk. The inode numbers are created based on its location in the disk, so, if you have a disk which is larger than 1TB, you can have inode numbers larger than 32bit which you mentioned. If you want to keep inodes in the range you mentioned, you must need inode32 options, so no inode will be allocated beyond the 32 bits limit which you mentioned. But, since you have a 800GB filesystem, and not a filesystem larger than 1TB, you can use inode64 and you will still have inodes in the 32bit range, but, if in any circunstance you grow the filesystem, you'll have inodes being allocated beyond that. if you must keep inode allocations in the 32bit range, I suggest you using the inode32 option, to avoid any future problems in case of a grow of the filesystem.
