Subject: File size limit exceeded with mkfs
Date: 20 Nov 2001 11:02:18 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1006272138.1263.3.camel@somewhere.auc.ca> (raw)
Hi everyone. Please CC any responses to me as I'm not subscribed to
this list.
I just installed a shiny new 80GB disk as primary slave and decided to
upgrade to 2.4.14+ext3 patch. It appears that with this kernel, and
also with 2.4.15-pre7, when trying to mkfs partitions greater than 2GB,
I get "file size limit exceeded" and mkfs aborts. I can successfully
mkfs partitions <= 2GB.
I do not have this problem with 2.4.7; all works well. Wondering if the
difference was ext3, I tried compiling 2.4.15-pre7 without ext3 support
and the same problem occured.
The disk is
hdb: 156301488 sectors (80026 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=9729/255/63
on a dual PIII-800 (SMP kernel). Please let me know if I can supply
additional information.
Cheers,
Jason.
