Given the default 128MiB(2^27 bytes) block group size and 64-byte group descriptors, ext4 can have at most 2^27/64 = 2^21 block groups. This limits the entire -filesystem size to 2^21 ∗ 2^27 = 2^48bytes or 256TiB. +filesystem size to 2^21 * 2^27 = 2^48bytes or 256TiB. The solution to this problem is to use the metablock group feature (META\_BG), which is already in ext3 for all 2.6 releases. With the |
