I've sent these changes to lkml (sorry, forgot to cc: ext2-devel) in 2 
patches - one to address the last bit of overflows, and another to 
handle full 32-bit inode numberss.

[PATCH 0/2] - more ext3 16T fixes
[PATCH 1/2] more ext3 16T overflow fixes
[PATCH 2/2] ext3 inode numbers are unsigned long

Thanks,

-Eric
