+tmpfs has a mount option to select whether it will wrap at 32- or 64-bit inode
+numbers:
+
+======= ========================
+inode64 Use 64-bit inode numbers
+inode32 Use 32-bit inode numbers
+======= ========================
+
+On a 32-bit kernel, inode32 is implicit, and inode64 is refused at mount time.
+On a 64-bit kernel, CONFIG_TMPFS_INODE64 sets the default. inode64 avoids the
+possibility of multiple files with the same inode number on a single device;
+but risks glibc failing with EOVERFLOW once 33-bit inode numbers are reached -
+if a long-lived tmpfs is accessed by 32-bit applications so ancient that
+opening a file larger than 2GiB fails with EINVAL.

So 'mount -t tmpfs -o size=10G,nr_inodes=10k,mode=700 tmpfs /mytmpfs'
will give you tmpfs instance on /mytmpfs which can allocate 10GB
