I have a LVM based ext4 filesystem on RHEL 5.4. The LV is just over 21T, but I am unable to extend the filesystem past the 15T that it is currently using.
I get this error from resize4fs:
resize4fs 1.41.5 (23-Apr-2009)
resize4fs: File too large while trying to determine filesystem size
lvdisplay:
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/ProgramArchive/ProgramArchive01
VG Name ProgramArchive
LV UUID g7Ndek-tZzc-irZX-7yiB-pbAC-NCHZ-7QetqV
LV Write Access read/write
LV Status available

LV Size 21.82 TB

I guess large filesystem support still is not present in ext4? I this the case, or do newer versions of the ext2/3/4 tools permit growing a filesystem past 16T?
