Hi guys, I have a XFS 1.3.1 version compile on linux kernel-2.4.20 (Red Hat
version) and kernel-2.4.22 (Vanilla) and 
i was wonder what changes I have to do to xfsprogs in order to create and
support filesystem greater than 2 Terabytes.

The kernel that I compiled with the gelato LBD patch and I tested with EXT3
and REISERFS on a MD device, the size of the Device is 2.7 Terabytes,
and everything looks OKAY, but when i try to tested with XFS sometime after
i perform xfs_repair some files are erased by the xfs_repair utility.  
All this testing was done in a PENTIUM 4 XEION and gcc (GCC) 3.2 20020903
(Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7) to compile the Kernel and the xfsprogs.

The xfsprogs utility  (2.5.6) was compiled with the xfs_types.h file
modified (The XFS_BIG_FILESYSTEMS #define was turned ON).

Do I have to compile the xfsprogs using or modifying more #defines? 

Thank you
Gustavo Rincon
