Thanks for the suggestion Frans. I added a 0 to the 1000000, and it
gave me:
SCSI.CCISS (-,0,0) (cciss/c0d0) - 1.2 TB Compaq Smart Array
#1 primary 1.2 TB B f ext3 /
#5 logical 2.7 GB f swap swap
So, bumping the limit clearly worked - but if Gordon Moore has
anything to say about it, I'll just need to up it again in 2014 :)
Perhaps we should set it to 16384 GB[1]?
According to Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt, this is the
filesystem size limit for architectures with a 4kB PAGE SIZE
Architectures that use larger pages (alpha, ia64, etc) can go
up to 32768 GB.
