    SubjectRe: mke2fs refuses to work on a partition > 2Gb

    	This is a problem with your libc, there were some where ll_seek
    (if I recall correctly) didn't work properly.
    [
    	You can built the ext2fs tools without the #define for
    having ll_seek, and it will use it's own internal that will work.
