you can use the undocumented/unsupported/non-production "ino64" option 
to force all inodes into 64-bit range, and test them on a (smaller) 
scratch fs.  I expect that it'll be fine but testing is good.

all the xfs tools should be fine w/ 64-bit inodes on a 64-bit system. 
(Hm, but opteron is tricky, were they built as 64-bit?)
