Some (misleading?) article on kernelnewbies.org said the new Ext4 Bigalloc feature was about supporting block size up to 1MB. I tried to use this feature to read an ext3 fs with 16k blocksize made on a Linux Debian Sparc (NAS). But I couldn't read such filesystem with the Linux 3.2 kernel on x86 PC... It fails to read fs structure (as it used to fail with previous kernels). Could someone point me to some documentation, or give me some clues: I'd like to understand what's wrong and if I can hope to read such fs with Linux on x86 (natively, without fusefs tricks or additional tools). Thanks.
