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?
