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.

Oh, using -F for this is highly dangerous.  That would allow mke2fs to
run on e.g. a mounted filesystem or something.  Instead use an option
like "-E 16tb" or something.

I would like to integrate the function into new option "-O large_block"
in my mail "[PATCH 1/4] ext2/3: Extends the max file size(ext2 in kernel)".
