 Yippie, I am not alone ;-) 
 I still have this problem with the filesize. Nobody
 really seems to really know how or why it happens :-(
 Please inform me if you happen to solve it!

Please, both of you file critical level bugs against e2fsck. I'm not
sure why it is broken, but they need to know about this ASAP.

2002-02-26 Thread Mark Eichin
This is already fixed in 1.26-3; there's *already* an RC bug (133909,
an old one, but the fix on x86 broke sparc and ppc at least.)  Yann
and Ted and I did a bunch of rounds on this on sparc last week.



e2fsck: File size limit exceeded

2002-02-25 Thread Ian Tester
I've just run into the same problem that Hakan had a week ago.

I had compiled 2.4.18-rc4 from vger CVS with ext3 instead of ext2. I had added
the journal with tune2fs and rebooted. Everything was fine and I shut it down
for the night (it's in my bedroom and I can't sleep with the sound offans and
disks spinning). I turned it on in the morning and the root fs had reached 20
mounts without checking, so fsck was run. It failed somewhere around 69% in,
with the File size limit exceeded error. No amount of fiddling with e2fsck
options has changed anything.

This is on a plain Sparcstation LX with a 4GB Seagate SCSI disk, not some huge
IDE disk. I went back to my previous kernel, 2.4.18-pre8, but that didn't help.
Hakan also mentioned something about ext3. Could this problem be because of the
journal?

please help,
bye
