SubjectRe: Unable to format 25GB partition
> Hello, I'm having a good bit of trouble formatting a 25GB partition on a

Sorry, that wasn't very informative. The problem I am having is that the
format goes fine until the "Writing superblocks and accounting information"
part... it thrashes the disks for a while and then locks solid - can't
even switch Vts... no kernel errors get printed...

The "Writing inode tables" goes very smoothly with these two patches though
- much better than older kernels...

With that, can anybody suggest a place to start looking?

Thanks,
Zach
