Hi Torsten,
Thank you for using sysclone function of xCAT. We appreciate for your information.
xCAT leverages the third part open source project SystemImager ( https://github.com/finley/SystemImager) to implement function sysclone.
Due to sysclone function was developed few years ago, xCAT shipped a specific version of SystemImager in xCAT installation package.
But now xCAT team has limited resource, unless we get business justification, we won’t assign resource to further develop this feature.
If you would like to contribute the fix of the problem you found, it is better to submit it to SystemImager project.
If xCAT team continue to develop sysclone function in the future, we will download the latest SystemImager code from github again. Thanks.
Best Regards!

Subject: [xcat-user] RHEL 6 and (larger) ext4 partitions
Date: Sun, Feb 10, 2019 4:49 PM
Dear all,
sorry for the mail flood, but this is the last of the "newbie" posts.
I came across a problem when deploying ext4 filesystems with CentOS 6.
The install script
/install/sysclone/scripts/wnfg.master
contains:
logmsg "mke2fs -q -t ext4 ${DISK0}3 || shellout"
mke2fs -q -t ext4 ${DISK0}3 || shellout
on "larger" partitions this will end of with a filesystem with the
"64bit" option enabled, which cannot be mounted by CentOS 6 (kernel too
old for that).
So a
'-O ^64bit'
or so is needed here.
Just want to post that if someone else stumbles across this problem.
Best regards
Torsten
