It does not appear that it will go past 2G even though I increased the process limits to near 3G. BTW, if MAXDSIZ plus MAXSSIZ is greater than the size of real memory the machine won't boot. I tried it. Also, the max memory FreeBSD can use is about 3.5G unless you use the experimental PAE kernel. Any other ideas on how to get fsck to work on a 6T filesystem?

fsck fails on 6T system
I am trying to fsck a 6T filesystem on a server that crashed. I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-p3. # fsck -t ufs -y /dev/da0 fsck_ufs: cannot alloc 1993797728 bytes for inoinfo I also tried: # fsck -t ufs -f -p /dev/da0 /dev/da0: UNKNOWN FILE TYPE I=11895232 /dev/da0: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. I built a custom kernel with MAXDSIZ and DFLDSIZ just under 3G, and got the same results. It was at about 430M in use when it crashed, so the total would be 2332 M which is less that the size allowed (reported by limits). I found an old bug report from 2004 that is still open, but nothing has been done. I also found an old article about someone (thinking about) rewriting fsck to use disk instead of memory, but no follow-up. Has anyone found a solution to this? Any suggestions? HELP!
