I recently ran into an issue where I couldn't create a file larger than 2GB on a particular ext3 filesystem. I was under the (mistaken) impression that >2GB support went in before ext3 support, and all ext3 filesystems would therefore support >2GB files on ia32. So, I started poking around and found that some of my ext3 filesystems have the "large_file" feature flag set on them, and others do not. I cannot find a manpage for mke2fs anywhere that explains how to set this flag, either at creation time or afterwards. When I try something like "mke2fs -j -O large_file <dev>" mke2fs complains that it doesn't understand the argument. Attempts to create ext3 filesystems using a modern debian-based (2.4.18) rescue CD also failed to set the large_file flag. So, I guess my question is, in what version of mke2fs was support for large files implemented, and how do you enable it, if it's not the default behavior? Thanks, D.
