Another little heads up - a newer snapshot is built in rawhide now.
Anyone who wants to fiddle with large ext4 filesystems, have at it please!

I created a 2**60 byte disk, partitioned it, and tried to create an ext4 filesystem on it, but that doesn't work:
<rescue> mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/vda1
mke2fs 1.42-WIP (25-Sep-2011)
Warning: the fs_type huge is not defined in mke2fs.conf
/dev/vda1: Cannot create filesystem with requested number of inodes while setting up superblock
<rescue> parted /dev/vda print
