I've never had this problem before, it's on a 2.4.14 kernel with lvm
1.0.1rc4:
gargamel:~# lvscan
lvscan -- ACTIVE "/dev/BootMylexLVM/usr" [1.50 GB]
lvscan -- ACTIVE "/dev/BootMylexLVM/var" [2.00 GB]
lvscan -- ACTIVE "/dev/BootMylexLVM/home" [115.00 GB]
lvscan -- 3 logical volumes with 118.50 GB total in 1 volume group
lvscan -- 3 active logical volume
I was able to mke2fs /dev/BootMylexLVM/usr just fine.
However, doing var and home fails like this:
gargamel:~# mke2fs /dev/BootMylexLVM/var
mke2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)

File size limit exceeded
Did I do something stupid, or do I need to upgrade?
(I did do a quick search on this kind of failure, but didn't find anything)
