Create a >281TB ext4 filesystem

0
0

I have a connected a 287TB disk-array to a Ubuntu server. (Both Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS and 16.04 LTS tested) and I have written a GPT and created a single partition using all diskspace:

GNU Parted 3.2
Using /dev/sdb
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of command.
(parted) print
Model: LSI MR9286CV-8e (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 287TB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

Number  Start    End    Size   File system  Name  Flags
 1      1049kB   287TB  287TB               DAS

However, when I try to create a ext4-filesystem, I get the following error:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkfs.ext4 -T largefile4 /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: Cannot create filesystem with requested number of inodes while setting up superblock
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: Cannot create filesystem with requested number of inodes while setting up superblock

However, if I create a partition with a size of 281TB or less, I have no problems.

Isn't it possible to create a ext4 filesystem bigger than 281TB?
