We need to create very large filesystems. We prefer to have a
filesystem which is 12TB but it seems ext3 does not suppor that.
Everytime, we do mkfs.ext3 on a 12TB LV we get
mke2fs: Filesystem too large. No more than 2**31-1 blocks
(8TB using a blocksize of 4K) are currently supported.
We can override that by doing,
mkfs.ext3 -b 8192
But what is the downside for doing this? By using a larger blocksize
what are the consequences?
