Hello,

what is max ext3 filesystem size when mke2fs is called with -i 1024 -b 1024?

If rhel5 supports 8T ext3, I assume that is with 4k blocks, right? So it is right to assume this number to be 2T with 1k blocks?

What about rhel4?


Thanks for answers.

32-bit block number container, so 2^32 * 1024 = 4T.

16T actually, in 2.6.19 and beyond (or distros which backported the fixes)

Yep.

s/b 4T, see above.

on pre-2.6.18/19 kernels there were really only 31 safe bits, so cut it
in half.
