Re: [Cooker] mke2fs segfaults when used on raid.

[Shalrath]

Ive finally got softraid working on here.

However, mke2fs will _segfault_ if used on a partition greater than 1000MB

I first created two 100 cylinder (700MB) partitions on /dev/sda1 and 
/dev/sdb1.   Then i ran mkraid using /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 for my disk 
components.

mke2fs failed.

Writing inode tables: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-------------------------------------------------

I then created two partitions on the seperate disks with 50 cylinders each. 
 The resulting raid array was less than 1GB

mke2fs succeeded.

This is very reproducible on my setup here.
