ext3 filesystems larger than 8TB

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Greetings.

I am trying to create a 10TB (approx) ext3 filesystem. I am able to successfully create the partition using parted, but when I try to use mkfs.ext3, I get an error stating there is an 8TB limit for ext3 filesystems.

I looked at the specs for 5 on the "upstream" vendor's website, and they indicate that there is a 16TB limit on ext3.

Has anyone been able to create a ext3 filesystem larger than 8TB?

If ext3 isn't an option, has anyone used the kmod-xfs-smp.i686 module mentioned on the centos site? Surely it doesn't have an 8TB limit...

specs:

Centos 5.1
kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5
3Ware 9550SXU 12port raid card

Am I just walking into a big nightmare?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Monty
