Andreas, Sorry if I'm missing something but I didn't find any of that information in the ext2.txt. Is there two versions of the inode structure because the latest code I have only has one inode structure with a i_size field of 32 bits. Where is this 64 bit field that describes the size of the file? I understand with the direct, indirect, d-indirect and t-indirect blocks that you can have much more than 4 gigs allocated but the i_size field seems to limit the file size.

Please see linux/Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt There is a 64-bit file size. Limit is 2TB of allocated blocks.
