http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592100 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=592100#c1 --- Comment #1 from Jeff Mahoney 2010-03-29 22:27:49 UTC --- Created an attachment (id=351258) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=351258) [PATCH] reiserfs: Remove 2 TB file size limit In its early life, reiserfs had an evolving s_max_bytes. It started out at 4 GB, then was raised to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE, then dropped to 2 TiB when it was observed that struct stat only had a 32-bit st_blocks field. Since then, both the kernel and glibc have evolved as well and now both support 64-bit st_blocks. Applications that can't deal with these ranges are assumed to be "legacy" or "broken." File systems now routinely support file sizes much larger than can be represented by 2^32 * 512. But we never revisited that limitation. ReiserFS has always been able to support larger file sizes (up to 16 TiB, in fact), but the s_max_bytes limitation has prevented that. This patch adds a max_file_offset helper to set s_max_bytes to a more appropriate value. I noticed that XFS adjusts the limit based on the CPU but I'd prefer to err on the side of compatibility and place the limit at the smaller of the 32-bit MAX_LFS_FILESIZE and the maximum supported by the file system. At a 4k block size, this is conveniently also the advertised maximum file size of reiserfs. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
