is capable of, in any event. This means that, even if you do manage to get it
working you're going to be running into other boundary related conditions (like your
first fsck taking longer than an upgrade would have, the inability to expand the
filesystem much past it's current size, and god-only knows what else.
In other words, if you need to stay with the current version of centos for other
reasons, then continue on this path, otherwise, an upgrade is likely to make life
easier in the long run.
... and if you can swing an upgrade to 64 bit, you may avoid other side effects of
working with a filesystem this large.
