e2fsck: make block counting variable in pass1 64 bits
PATCH 1/1 e2fsck: make block counting variable in pass1 64 bits
Justin reported that creating a 4T file with posix_fallocate led to fsck errors:
e2fsck 1.41.10 (10-Feb-2009)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Inode 12, i_blocks is 8589935432, should be 840. Fix? yes
This looks like a 32-bit overflow.
commmit 8a8f36540bbf5d4397cf476e216e9a720b5c1d8e added handling of the high i_blocks number, but we accumulate blocks in the num_blocks field, and that's still just 32 bits.
Note: we don't need to expand max_blocks for now, that's only used in the non-extents case, and those files have smaller max sizes.
I haven't been able to replicate the problem, oddly, but Justin reports that this patch fixed his situation.
