Does anyone know why this doesn't > work, what to do to fix it? I fixed a bug in mke2fs that had this result over a year ago, so a recent e2fsprogs should fix it. Failing that, there's a workaround: use "mke2fs -b 4096" to prevent mke2fs from trying to work out the device size in units of 1k blocks. Counting in 4k blocks prevents a 32-bit overflow. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
