This is fixed already in the "next" branch of e2fsprogs http://git.kernel.org/?p=fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git;a=commit;h=1afb468b9a80031b39eab37272709f45727fb221 This commit was checked in well over a month ago. If you're not using the latest next branch of e2fsprogs, you really should.... this wasn't the only bigalloc-related mke2fs bug that was fixed, and e2fsck should now be working as well with bigalloc. -- Ted -- 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
