Ext3 users - Feb 2002 - EXT3 Journal Creation Problem

Hi Guys,

When I try to create an ext3 journal on a new fs, I receive the
following error. This is all under Kernel v2.4.17 and e2fs tools v1.25:

File size limit exceeded

Running e2fsck on it afterwords gives:

e2fsck -y /dev/sdc1
e2fsck 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
Superblock has a bad ext3 journal (inode 8).
Clear? yes

*** ext3 journal has been deleted - filesystem is now ext2 only ***

Superblock doesn't have has_journal flag, but has ext3 journal inode.
Clear? yes

/dev/sdc1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Journal inode is not in use, but contains data.  Clear? yes

File size limit exceeded

Hi,

You have probably got user limits running on the account: type "ulimit
-a" under bash ("limit" on csh) to see the limits in force.  In
particular, you'll probably see a max file size limit.  That's a local
login shell configuration issue.
