Hi,

I tried to expand my gfs filesystem from 250Gb to 350Gb.
I run gfs_grow without any error or warnings.
But something gone wrong.

Now, i cannot mount the gfs filesystem anymore (lock computer)

When i try to do a gfs_fsck i get:

[root at west ~]# gfs_fsck -v /dev/mapper/VolGroup_FS100-LogVol_FS100 
Initializing fsck
Initializing lists...
Initializing special inodes...
Validating Resource Group index.
Level 1 check.

This file system is too big for this computer to handle.
Last fs block = 0x1049c5c47, but sizeof(unsigned long) is 4 bytes.
Unable to determine the boundaries of the file system.

Like when trying to access a >16Tb on 32bit.
But the disk below is just 350Gb!!

[root at west ~]# lvdisplay /dev/mapper/VolGroup_FS100-LogVol_FS100
