Hi,

Hi,

Few comments on the patches:

1) Both kernel patch and e2fsprogs doesn't seem to apply cleanly for
the versions you mentioned. I had to fix few rejects.

Sorry. My patches were corrupted because my poor mailer had
removed spaces in the patch.
I will take care of it when I update this patch.

2) I am still not able to make filesystem bigger than 8TB with your
patch. I get following message.

# fdisk -l /dev/md0

Disk /dev/md0: 10479.7 GB, 10479753756672 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, -1736433664 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes


elm3b29:~/e2fsprogs-1.38/misc # ./mke2fs /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
mke2fs: Filesystem too large.  No more than 2**31-1 blocks
        (8TB using a blocksize of 4k) are currently supported.

When I try to create "ext3":

As I said in my previous mail, You should specify -F option to
create ext2/3 which has more than 2**31-1 blocks.
It is because of the compatibility.

elm3b29:~/e2fsprogs-1.38/misc # ./mke2fs -t ext3 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005)
mke2fs: invalid blocks count - /dev/md0

Were you able to test these changes ?

You should specify -j option to create ext3 as below.

# ./mke2fs -j /dev/md0
