Ubuntu changes should be in one or more of the  debian/control* files I believe.  There doesn't seem to be an existing explicit dependency on e2fsprogs

Yes, e2fsprogs-1.44.3.wc1 is currently being used by all autotest runs.

I don't think the over-16TB MDT issue is related to e2fsprogs-1.44.3, so it should probably go into its own LU ticket. I do recall a similar issue being seen in the past, so if you search with the actual error message you may find it.

[James A Simmons]

Yes its the MDT being formatted that reports the problem. What should be the policy here? Give a warning and just format the disk at the maximum large size in the default case.

BTW is the test harness now using this version of e2fsprogs?

[Andreas Dilger]

James, that must be formatting an MDT? By default the OST already uses "-o 64bit". With DoM it probably makes sense to enable "-o 64bit" on the MDT if it is large, but this forces the use of extents, which can hurt directory performance because directories are typically random 4KB blocks.

[James A Simmons]

The last testing with this gave:

mke2fs 1.44.3.wc1 (23-July-2018)

mke2fs: Size of device (0x448000000 blocks) /dev/mapper/crius-ddn-l12 too big to be expressed in 32 bits using a blocksize of 4096.

It looks like a -o 64 option will be needed.

I will look into it tomorrow to track down the issue.

[Andreas Dilger]

Minh, the build artifacts are available for RHEL6/7, and SLES 11/12. Can you please please move them to the download site.

If we don't already have a ticket for it, we also need to look into adding an Ubuntu builder for e2fsprogs. Building should be fairly straight forward, as the upstream Debian e2fsprogs is built directly from the e2fsprogs repo.
