+Subject: ocfs2: Add the 'inode64' mount option.
+Patch-mainline: 2.6.28?
+References: FATE302877
+
+Now that ocfs2 limits inode numbers to 32bits, add a mount option to
+disable the limit. This parallels XFS. 64bit systems can handle the
+larger inode numbers.
+
+[ Added description of inode64 mount option in ocfs2.txt. --Mark ]
