This makes me nervous. Is there a solution that avoids this. Considering the other possible options that have been mentioned, using the Ext4 built-in larger devices support (which has been implemented recently) seems to be your best bet. https://askubuntu.com/questions/779754/how-do-i-resize-an-ext4-partition-beyond-the-16tb-limit The required e2fsprogs version 1.43 is included in Ubuntu 16.10 by now, so you don't even need to build it from the source. https://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/e2fsprogs But really, if you have everything on one array with a single huge filesystem and no backups, that's just asking for trouble and a complete data loss. -- With respect, Roman -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
