This: # /root/truncate bigfile 14680064000000 Truncating bigfile to 14680064000000 # e2fsck /device Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 49154, i_size is 14680064000000, should be 0. Fix<y>? is a bit unexpected. It's because the size is being checked against the max sizes for bitmap files, not extent-based files. Nick saw this with his 14TB file. Patch below applies different size limits to the different file formats.
