Hello list,
I try to mkreiserfs /dev/evms/userhomes and /dev/evms/userhomes is a
drive-linked evms feature object with a sum of 18.8TB.
mkreiserfs /dev/evms/userhomes gives following result:
count_blocks: block device too large
Aborted
I am running 2.6.2-gentoo with large block devices enabled...
anyone a hint?

The limit for 4k block based filesysytems is 16TB.
Try something with extents, or try on ia64 where you can use bigger
pages.
