Yes; just note that with a 1k blocksize, 2^32 blocks will only get you as far as 4TB, not 16TB. But yes, it should work. However, 1k blocksize is usually a bad idea unless you really need the very very best space efficiency on the filesystem: it usually performs worse than 4k blocksize, and it imposes other limits such as a maximum file size of a bit over 16GB. With 4k blocksize, a 3.27TB filesystem should just work. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
