Message-ID: <20090425033955.GF13608@mit.edu> (raw)

P.S. What sort of flex_bg size are you using?
EXT4-fs: not enough memory for 8198 flex groups
EXT4-fs: unable to initialize flex_bg meta info!
Modern e2fsprogs default to using 16 block groups per flex_bg, which
means 8198 flex groups is a little over 16 TB --- which the mainline
e2fsprogs doesn't support yet. You wouldn't be using a smaller
flex_bg size for some reason, are you?
If so, can you say something about why? I've been actually thinking
that we might want to bump up the flex_bg size slight more, but it
appears you're using something smaller; was this deliberate.
