In my memory, meta_bg is not allowed to set with resize_inode. So if you want to use the patch, you need options meta_bg,64bit,^resize_inode when mkfs. I am busy on other things, so I am a way the patch for a while. Yongqiang.

Looking at the code in mke2fs, it appears the 64-byte size used for filesystems when the 64bit flag is set, regardless of what size the filesystem is, and there is no way to change it. >> >> It looks like my theory is wrong, but I don't have access to a system to test this.
