Centos 5.1 ext3 filesystem limit
Centos 5.1 documentation states that the supported ext3 filesystem limit
is 16TB, yet I have a 9.5TB partition that is claimed to be too large:
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
mke2fs: Filesystem too large. No more than 2**31-1 blocks
(8TB using a blocksize of 4k) are currently supported.
Am I missing something?

Disk partitions and LVM limits
Hi,
I've got a DAS DELL MD1000 with a bunch of SATA drives in RAID 5 configuration
with total space of 5.4TB. This box is attached to a CentOS5 system (kernel
2.6.18-53.1.6.el5).
Any idea how to make this space usable?
Is there a limit how big a partition can be? What is the work around?
Is there a limit how big a file system ca be?
I've tried to partition it but no matter how bug

Re: Disk partitions and LVM limits - SUMMARY
...to create the file systems. Some people recommend XFS.
If you try to create bigger then 8TB ext3 file system make sure you use
option "-F" and 4K blocks:
mkfs -t ext3 -F -b 4096 /dev/vg00/lvol01
