Just thought I would let you guys know that creating a 20TB file was successful. I even appended data to the end of it. Any operations on the file are completely useless because they take way to long. A appended "hello" to the end of the file no problem, but tail -n 1 {filename} yielded nothing except a lot of disk read after 159minutes of waiting.
I don't really even know if this is good information or common knowledge. dd bs=1000M count=20000 if=/dev/zero of=/data/storage/ReplayDataVolume001/biggest_yet_file r...@s2-replay02:/data/storage/ReplayDataVolume001# ls -aFl total 1266312192 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 3896 2009-12-31 23:31 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 88 2010-01-01 11:02 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1048576000 2009-12-31 23:23 big_file -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10485760000 2009-12-31 23:24 bigger_file -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 104857600000 2009-12-31 23:28 biggest_file -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20971520000006 2010-01-01 11:03 biggest_yet_file drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3896 2009-12-31 11:53 lost+found/ r...@s2-replay02:/data/storage/ReplayDataVolume001# -Robert On Jan 1, 2010, at 5:08 AM, Joel Becker wrote: > On Fri, Jan 01, 2010 at 04:36:02AM +0900, Robert Smith wrote: >> Oh, I found it at line #2163 of fs/ocfs2/super.c. >> >> I imagine that something as simple as the following would work, but perhaps >> I'll wait for your feedback. >> >> >> /* >> if (ocfs2_clusters_to_blocks(osb->sb, le32_to_cpu(di->i_clusters) - 1) >>> (u32)~0UL) { >> mlog(ML_ERROR, "Volume might try to write to blocks beyond " >> "what jbd can address in 32 bits.\n"); >> status = -EINVAL; >> goto bail; >> } >> */ > > That should work.
