Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2012 10:36:29 +0800 From: Yongqiang Yang <xiaoqiangnk@...il.com> To: Justin Maggard <jmaggard10@...il.com>, Andreas Dilger <adilger@...mcloud.com> Cc: ext4 development <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Re: resize2fs > 16TB questions In my memory, meta_bg is not allowed to set with resize_inode. So if you want to use the patch, you need options meta_bg,64bit,^resize_inode when mkfs. I am busy on other things, so I am a way the patch for a while. Yongqiang.

Looking at the code in mke2fs, it appears the 64-byte size used for filesystems when the 64bit flag is set, regardless of what size the filesystem is, and there is no way to change it. >> >> It looks like my theory is wrong, but I don't have access to a system to test this.
