(In reply to Mark Millard from comment #7)

For reference Konstantin Belousov's original
words that I misrepresented were (copied and
pasted):

UFS uses 32bit inodes, changing to 64bit is both pointless currently, and
causes on-disk layout incompatibilities.

As a consequence, use of ino_t (64bit) or uint32_t for inode numbers are
almost always interchangeable, unless used for specifying on-disk layout.
UFS correctly uses (and was changed to use) uint32_t for inode numbers
in the disk-layout definitions.  Other places, which calculate inode
numbers from inode block numbers, or do some other calculations with
inodes, are fine with either width.

That is, I believe that all instances which I looked at during the
ino64 preparation are fine.
