Well, this is a known failing of 2.4; It's not safe to promote block to
unsigned since there are many places in the filesystem and block code
where it gets used as a signed quantity.
If you want to use arrays >1TB, either use vanilla 2.6 with LBD support
enabled, or one of the vendor kernels with it backported.
