I don't think disks matter (and the new box has SSDs) since everything

there shouldn't be any differences.

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?
