+ tmpfs has historically used only inode numbers as wide as an unsigned
+ int. In some cases this can cause wraparound, potentially resulting
+ in multiple files with the same inode number on a single device. This
+ option makes tmpfs use the full width of ino_t by default, without
+ needing to specify the inode64 option when mounting.
+
+ But if a long-lived tmpfs is to be accessed by 32-bit applications so
+ ancient that opening a file larger than 2GiB fails with EINVAL, then
+ the INODE64 config option and inode64 mount option risk operations
+ failing with EOVERFLOW once 33-bit inode numbers are reached.
+
+ To override this configured default, use the inode32 or inode64
+ option when mounting.
