Hi Ducan, 
could you elaborate this sentence ? From my understanding 
inode_cache is *needed* on 32bit system in order to avoid inode number
overflow. Why are you saying that it is not recommended ?
Even if there are bugs, these have to be corrected. A bugs cannot be
a reason to remove a needed option.

Inode exhaustion is worse than a slowness... Otherwise BTRFS would be not
suitable to a 32 bit system... But please tell me your opinion because may 
be I misunderstood something...
