Subject: Problem with 15TB logical volume


Hope it's okay to send "user problems" here.  

I've made a 15TB logical volume on a 21TB RAID6 iSCSI array.

When I try to make an ext4 filesystem I see the following error:

mke4fs -E stride=32 stripe-width=384 -i 65536 -j -v \
/dev/mapper/vg2md3000isata-homes2 

mke4fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
mke4fs: invalid blocks count - /dev/mapper/vg2md3000isata-homes2

Some more details:

When i searched briefly yesterday, some documentation stated that the
filesystem limit was now 16TB, and some that the limit was much higher.

The system is running Centos 5.5, e4fsprogs-1.41.9-3.el5.
