Hi,
I want to create a filesystem on a 24 TB partition, but I can't.
So what filesystem should I use, and how should I create and mount it?
I'm using Centos 5.5 on a x86 Machine, partition table is GPT, created with parted.
I tried the following:
1. Create the praised ext4 filesystem:
Code:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sde3
mke4fs 1.41.9 (22-Aug-2009)
mkfs.ext4: Size of device /dev/sde3 too big to be expressed in 32 bits
using a blocksize of 4096.
--> failed
Then I forced a block size of 8192 .. worked but mounting crashed the machine.
AFAIK, the mkfs does not support > 16 TB.
2. Create xfs which should handle it:
Code:
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sde3
meta-data=/dev/sde3 isize=256 agcount=32, agsize=175303405 blks
= sectsz=512 attr=0
data = bsize=4096 blocks=5609708960, imaxpct=25
= sunit=0 swidth=0 blks, unwritten=1
naming =version 2 bsize=4096
log =internal log bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=1
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=0
realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0
# mount /dev/sde3 /data
mount: Argument list too long
Any ideas?
PS: I don't care about what filesystem to use, but it should support quota.
