Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc8 I've now dropped the internal journal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/mapper/vgbig-loebas tune2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) (That took almost as long as creating the filesystem in the first place...) Now trying to add the journal device gives a clue about what's wrong: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# tune2fs -J device=/dev/mapper/vg11-loebas--journal /dev/mapper/vgbig-loebas tune2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) tune2fs: Filesystem has unexpected block size while trying to open journal on /dev/mapper/vg11-loebas--journal [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# mke2fs -b 4096 -O journal_dev /dev/mapper/vg11-loebas--journal mke2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 0 inodes, 128000 blocks 0 blocks (0.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 0 block group 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 0 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: Zeroing journal device: done [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# tune2fs -J device=/dev/mapper/vg11-loebas--journal /dev/mapper/vgbig-loebas tune2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) Creating journal on device /dev/mapper/vg11-loebas--journal: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 26 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override. Now it works... Perhaps the error message given in the first case could be fixed so that the blocksize problem becomes apparent at the beginning?
