I am using e4fsprogs 1.41.12. My device is actually 17TB. I can live with just using 16TB of it if that's what's supported. But when I tried to increase the size by specifying the size, I get this error: # resize4fs /dev/sdb 16000G resize4fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) resize4fs: File too large while trying to determine filesystem size # resize4fs /dev/sdb 15000G resize4fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010) resize4fs: File too large while trying to determine filesystem size I also tried 16T and 15T, and get the same thing. # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 8 0 243163136 sda 8 1 16779861 sda1 8 2 6289447 sda2 8 3 6289447 sda3 8 4 0 sda4 8 5 4192933 sda5 8 6 4192933 sda6 8 7 4192933 sda7 8 8 201222126 sda8 8 16 17560535040 sdb # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 16253924 9484080 5930852 62% / /dev/sda8 194917600 66106672 118749824 36% /u1 /dev/sda6 4061540 83700 3768196 3% /tmp /dev/sda3 6092388 221168 5556748 4% /opt /dev/sda2 6092388 4701480 1076436 82% /var /dev/sda5 4061540 73800 3778096 2% /var/tmp tmpfs 16481060 0 16481060 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb 2880829872 1505086604 1229405476 56% /u2 Can someone suggest I am doing wrong?
