One of our NAS has 256 MBytes of RAM (and they wanted 64) with a 3TB disk, 2.996TB of which is an EXT4 file system. With our 2.6.32.11 kernel and e2fsprogs version 1.41.3-1, all I get is a segfault when I run fsck.ext4. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
