Currently, mkreiserfs on a block device >= 16 TiB will fail with this error: reiserfs_create_journal: cannot create a journal of 8193 blocks with 18 offset on 0 blocks The message doesn't adequately describe that the problem is that reiserfs supports file system sizes up to 2^32-1 blocks, and it silently overflows. This patch treats the block device size, as well as the <blocks> command line parameter as __u64's, so that they can be safely compared to UINT_MAX. If the block device is too large, we warn the user, offer to truncate the file system to 2^32-1 blocks, and confirm. This is overridable by the -f option, which will elect to truncate automatically. If the user has specified a block count that is too large, we fail always since the user has provided invalid input. Please apply.
