Good point.  Russell might just owe you a beverage of choice.  =:^)

The inode_cache mount option isn't recommended for any bitness.

@ Russ, are you mounting with inode_cache?  If so, definitely try running 
without it and see if it changes the results.

(FWIW I wish that mount option would just go away as it would definitely 
remove an invitation to a Russian roulette party with their data for the 
unwary, but I suppose there's someone paying some bills somewhere that 
wants it kept for some specific use-case where the performance gain must 
be worth the calculated risk, thus continuing that invitation to data 
Russian roulette for everyone else.)
