No preference here; all that I was suggesting was that if you want
to know whether inodes are 32/64 bit it doesn't matter what the
largest inode number is.

i.e. "Can I mount this with inode32 and have no problems (yes/no)?"

And it's a lot easier to just query for *any* 64 bit inode than it
is to find the largest inode number...

If you want to combine the two, then that's fine by me.

Cheers,

Dave.
