Ahh, good --- I was about to ask what version of FC you were using now, and what version you had used to create the fs initially. e2fsprogs used to have a bug interacting with some versions of the kernel when querying the device size. As a workaround on those old versions, you could use "mke2fs -b 4096" to force it to use a 4k blocksize when calculating the device size, and avoid the overflow. Newer e2fsprogs should always get it right; please do let me know if you still find problems in that area, I think I got them all fixed for FC3 and FC4. Cheers, Stephen
