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?
Yes. 'mke2fs -F' forces it to make the FS, even though it thinks it's too
big. "They" should have changed that when 16TB ext3 fs support moved from
tech preview to production ready, but I think it got missed. Maybe in
5.2...
