Re: max size of a partition

[Pacman <cia_pacman@gmx.net>]

i tried kernel ver 2.4.0 with reiserfs patch (3.6.25), -ac12, 2.4.1, -ac18 all with crypto patch 2.4.0.3.
/etc/fstab:
/dev/hda8 /mnt/crypto   ext2    defaults,noauto,loop,encryption=aes,user 0 0

what i did:
losetup (patched ver. s)
losetup -e aes /dev/loop0 /dev/hda8
mke2fs /dev/loop0 ==> kernel panic if hda > 2gb

kernel config ist attached.
