64bit filesystem questions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I was checking up on the support for 64bit ( > 16 TB ) fs support in the next branch last night and have a few questions:

1) Why is blocks_per_group limited to 32k ( more specifically, 8 x blocksize )

2) Why can't 64bit be enabled explicitly ( with -O or -E? ) instead of automatically when needed and the enable automatic 64bit setting is in mke2fs.conf?

3)  Why does 64bit disable the resize inode?
