I'm trying to replace a pair of 30G drives in a RAID0 configuration with a pair of 60s so I'll be able to do RAID1 instead. However, I keep getting "file size limit exceeded" errors whenever I:
- Try to write a configuration with more than 2 logical partitions using cfdisk or fdisk (although the partition sizes don't matter, only the number of partitions). - Try to format a large partition (2G is OK, 20G is not) using mke2fs. A google search turned up a couple of mailing list posts suggesting that this is a kernel bug which was fixed in an -ac patch at some point, then reintroduced in 2.4.10; the machine I'm working with has displayed this bug with 2.4.16 and 2.4.17 kernels, both built from Debian's kernel-source packages. I tried a 2.2.19 also, but that wouldn't boot due to incompatible RAID implementations. Is there a patch currently out there to fix this? If not, what's the next step towards getting this system up and running with the new disks? -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
