Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Is there anyone out there that can give me an indication of when the 2TB FS limitation will be addressed? We are ready to implement XFS based IDE Raid IA64 servers with 4+TB today. Any information you can provide me about timelines would be very helpful.

There is also an error in ia64/config.in for one of these variables.
