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.
