partition > 2 gigabyte

[Reinhard Knecht <rkn@xxxxxx>]

hello,

i've downloaded the linux-2.4-xfs and the linux-2.4-xfs-beta from the cvs some day's ago.
i've got them compiled with gcc-2.95.2 but when i try to create a filesystem on partitions larger than 2 gig, i get the following:

belana:~ # mkfs.xfs /dev/hdb2
/dev/hdb2: Invalid argument
can't get size of data subvolume
Usage: mkfs.xfs
/* blocksize */         [-b log=n|size=num]
/* data subvol */       [-d agcount=n,agsize=n,file,name=xxx,size=num,
                            sunit=value,swidth=value,unwritten=0|1]
/* inode size */        [-i log=n|perblock=n|size=num,maxpct=n]
/* log subvol */        [-l agnum=n,internal,size=num,logdev=xxx]
/* naming */            [-n log=n|size=num|version=n]
/* prototype file */    [-p fname]
/* quiet */             [-q]
/* version */           [-V]
/* realtime subvol */   [-r extsize=num,size=num,rtdev=xxx]
                        devicename
devicename is required unless -d name=xxx is given
internal 1000 block log is default unless overridden or using a volumemanager with log
num is xxx (bytes), or xxxb (blocks), or xxxk (xxx KB), or xxxm (xxx MB)
value is xxx (512 blocks)

for the entire device (/dev/hdb) it works.
with gcc-2.91.66 (egcs 1.12) i can't compile the kernel at all.

any suggestions?
