Subject: resize4fs: File too large while trying to determine filesystem size

Hi,

I am trying to resize a ext4 filesystem. I am using e4fsprogs 1.41.12.

My device is actually 17TB. I can live with just using 16TB of it if 
that's what's supported. But when I tried to increase the size by 
specifying the size, I get this error:

# resize4fs /dev/sdb 16000G
resize4fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
resize4fs: File too large while trying to determine filesystem size
# resize4fs /dev/sdb 15000G
resize4fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
resize4fs: File too large while trying to determine filesystem size


I also tried 16T and 15T, and get the same thing.

Can someone suggest I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
