Subject: Creating partitions under 2.4.14
Date: Sun, 18 Nov 2001 10:52:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20011118155255Z279842-17408+15786@vger.kernel.org> (raw)
I believe I've hit this bug again:
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2001-40/0208.html
I'm trying to create a 7.5 gigs partition on /dev/sda, over a aic7xxxx SCSI
controller [Adaptec 7892A (rev 2)]. Fdisk will create partition labels right,
but mke2fs dies (1.18 and 1.25 both) with "File size limit exceeded".
I'm running 2.4.14 vanilla, e2fsprogs 1.25, glibc 2.2.1, on a progeny debian
system (more or less potato).
Anyone can confirm the patch made it into 2.4.15?
