Yes I'm using LBD patch for 2.4.23 and I did make the change in
include/linux/types.h in order to
enable the HAVE_SECTOR_T. The LBD is working, I'm able to create ext3
filesystem on the device and
the size of it is 2.7Terabye and by the way I ran the test successfully for
4 days in a row.
I'll change xfs_types.h and i' ll force to have the HAVE_SECTOR_T definition
and i'll try the test
again.
Thank you

Whoohoo, we've just been discussing this... :)

Which LBD patch did you use? There is no 2.4.24-pre1 LBD patch.
There may already be some problems there, the LBD patch used to make
itself known via HAVE_SECTOR_T, but that's not there anymore. So now
the conditional code in XFS for LBD doesn't work, and xfs has no way to
know that LBD is present. Check your LBD patch for a definition of
HAVE_SECTOR_T....
We're probably going to remove all the LBD bits from 2.4 xfs, and push
the changes into Peter's patch, since xfs is now in 2.4.24 - I'll try to
get an updated patch to him soon.
In the meantime, you can probably fix things up by looking for
#ifdef HAVE_SECTOR_T
conditionals in XFS, and making them always true (either by removing the
tests, or defining it yourself in, say, xfs_linux.h)
That's just off the top of my head, no promises.
Until that's fixed, I'm not inclined to dig through all the stacks
posted below. :)
