[Devil-Linux-discuss] Update of E2fsprogs possible?

[Udo L. <udo...@al...>]

Hi,
just try to expand an ext4-filesystem up to 22TB and it's fails, because (it's looks so for me) the e2fsprogs are too old.
Or is it an limit of the kernel? This means the error message.

On a debian-jessie with E2fsprogs 1.42.12 and 3.16.0-4-amd64 it's work without trouble.
The Filesystem is created as 64-bit (with an other distro...)


Best regards
