I have some open bugs similar to Bug 654093 - [6.0]The resize2fs command fails to run on a 16TiB filesystem. which was fixed in RHEL6.1. > > I also tried 16T and 15T, and get the same thing. Well, the issue is that the device itself is more than 16T, and the e2fsprogs tools won't even touch it; e2fsprogs has never released more than 32-bit support. I would recommend resizing your device to something small enough for e2fsprogs to handle.
