Then systems with such filesystems will not be backwards-compatible
with older linux applications or non-LFS linux applications, which is
to say most of them. Such applications will be easily recognized
because they try to call stat() (or a variant) rather than stat64().
I would recommend not designing such filesystems, or not using them,
or having the kernel translate inode numbers.
