[PATCH 0/2] Squashing long inodes.

[Denis Obrezkov]

Hi,

nowadays we can observe active cooperation between 64bit and 32bit systems. Due to this we have a compatibility problem - programs on 32bit systems have to operate with 64bit inodes. 
Most of these programs use stat to check out file's presence and don's use inodes themselves. Sometimes we could resolve this problem by means of rebuilding them with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 flag. 
But many of them can't be rebuilt. So there is another way that is used in other products which have such a problem(e.g. fuse) - squashing inodes for 32bit systems.

Should it be solved? Should it be solved a different way?
