Suse Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP3
I've tried to create a large 5TB file system using both reiserfs and ext3 and both have failed.
I end up with only a 1.5TB file system and the rest is free space. Does anyone know why this doesn't work, what to do to fix it?
Thanks,
-Mark

Use XFS (or JFS if you prefer) and it will work fine.
Best regards,
