Is this true for all platforms or do the Alpha and Ultrasparc do better?
They could. But at the moment both ports have chosen to use a 32-bit st_ino field in the stat structure.
Really, I'm personally more for a true 64-bit seperate set of interfaces for these sorts of things. Then we can have 64-bit file support coherent across all platforms.
