filesystems bigger than 16 TB?

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

 



With mkfs.ext4 from 1.41.14, it is not possible to create a filesystem which is bigger than 16 TB:


mkfs.ext4: Size of device /dev/sdb too big to be expressed in 32 bits
	using a blocksize of 4096.


But I see it succeeds with the latest git version of e2fsprogs.



The question is: how reliable such a filesystem is?

On a system which is supposed to be reliable, perhaps I'll be better off with xfs for such large filesystems?

I'm using Debian Squeeze, which has a 2.6.32 kernel.
