Cached or not, the inodes will have to look different since ext4 supports
nanosecond timestamps. Is it possible something about the finer grained
time is causing this? I know Solaris, which has had ns timestamps forever,
had to do some tricky work in the stat struct involving unions and macros
in order to support nanoseconds. Possibly something similar is done on
Linux resulting in unaligned accesses?
