Follow-up Comment #5:

I just made an implementation of my suggestion in #3 and I'm not sure I like
it because the resulting field is very wide and mostly blank.   On my
development system this results in a 20-character field for the inode number
(since, I assume, ino_t is a 64-bit type).   

I agree though that a filesystem which supports only a million files would be
small by today's standards.

It's tempting to use statfs to examine the filesystem and use statfs.f_files
but this only tells us the maximum number of files - the inodes may not be
allocated in any particular way (e.g. not contiguously).
