I'll probally send an email to the XFS list about this - the problem is
that we've done nothing different with the file system set up on this
server compared with the many others we have - i.e. the file systems
were set up with:
mkfs -t xfs /dev/sdb1
etc.
It's just that the file systems in question seem to be saying that the
number of inodes on the file system is 2^64 - whereas all the other XFS
file systems we have (of a similar size) have nowhere near 2^32 inodes
...
However, the one big difference is that the RAID array in question is
3.5TB - which is partioned on the RAID into 4 (i.e. Linux sees 4 devices
on different LUNs) - therefore the overall size of the RAID array is a
lot bigger than anything else we've used before (we don't have anything
else over 2TB) - and the version of xfsprogs used was very old
(1.3.17-0) ...
I'm going to remake one of the partitions with a newer version of
mkfs.xfs to see if that makes a difference ...
