mke2fs (and mkreiserfs) core dumps

Hi!

I am exeperiencing the similar problem in kernel
2.4.18, glibc 2.2.5, and patched gcc 2.95.3
(http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/glib-linux-archive/0110/0
007.html).

Both of the following commands

mke2fs /dev/md0
mke2fs -j /dev/md0

output

File size limit exceeded

Please help and thank you in advance!

You too can have your own email address from Eurosport.

You must log in directly at the console as root (no su or sudo), or disable any ulimit from being set.

Alternately, if you get the very latest e2fsprogs (1.27) then it should also be able to work around this problem.

Cheers, Andreas
