This has been fixed upstream (along with lots of data corruption bugs), but unfortunately, the Wheezy freeze has been dragging on... and on... and on... People who want to use > 16TB file systems, or are really worried about various e2fsck problems, I strongly recommend that folks download the version of e2fsprogs from experimental. It's not yet the final 1.42.7 release (which has been released upstream), but it will be in the near future. I just haven't really bothered with upgrading Debian's package since I keep hoping wheezy will get released and we can finally start uploading new versions of software to unstable.... For more information of the bugs not yet fixed in Debian stable's version of e2fsprogs, but which are fixed in upstream, please see: http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html BTW, it's really not hard to download the latest version of e2fsprogs and build your own debian package. For production systems, I recommend you use the latest released version (i.e., 1.42.7, or to grab the maint branch).
