Actualy that is already a problem. The ext2fs_get_device_size2() only
returns EFBIG if sizeof(dev_size) < sizeof(unsigned long long), which
was the case for blk_t but no longer.
As a result mke2fs no longer stops with the right error on devices >
16TiB. My test device is exactly 32 TiB large and gives the following:
root@beo-13:~# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmpa/ext4 /tmpa/ext4/mke2fs -T ext4dev
-j -m0 /dev/mapper/ext4
mke2fs 1.41.0 (10-Jul-2008)
mke2fs: inode_size (256) * inodes_count (0) too big for a
filesystem with 0 blocks, specify higher inode_ratio (-i)
or lower inode count (-N).
I'm guessing somewhere along the line it converts to 32bit choping of
the higher bits.
