Hi folks, I've been trying test a patch to set JBD2_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_64BIT, but I'm stuck just trying to test the patch since there doesn't seem to be a way to create a ext4 filesystem that has more than 32bit blocks. It seems like e2fsprogs + Ted's patches don't support greater that 32bit block numbers while the the e2fsprogs 64bit patches from BULL create the filesystem but the kernel seems unable to mount. Am I missing something? -JRS
Hi Jose,I began to port our modifications done for the 64-bit support against the new version of e2fsprogs Ted posted at the beginning of the week. Note that it is *just* for test use as it breaks the backwards compatibility. I did a few tests with a kernel 2.6.17-rc7 and it seems to work, at least mkfs, debugfs and fsck tools.
Get the new version of e2fsprogs at ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/e2fsprogs-interim/e2fsprogs-1.39-tyt3 and apply the patchset in attachment. Hope this helps, Valérie
