Peter Chubb has a backport of his (very thorough) 2.5 patch to support large block devices on 32-bit platforms, against much newer kernels (e.g. 2.4.20) than Ben's stuff. His site seems to be down, but you should be able to get it from somewhere under http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/~peterc/ I haven't used Peter's patch, but a similar patch, developed independently, definitely allows ext3 filesystems of up to 8TB in size to work fine on x86, under 2.4. The nominal limit on device/filesystem size looks to be 16TB on a 32-bit platform, but there are dozens of sign truncation errors throughout the VFS and block layers that are unlikely to get fixed. Hence, 8TB it is. <b - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
