Hi Linus,
I wonder if you would pull this fix for 2.6.33.
If you have a very large RAID5 - say 8TB, quite easy these days -
with very small chunks - say 4K, not common but quite possible -
then you can get more than 2^31 chunks so storing the number of
chunks in an 'int' doesn't really work.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
