| Aug 4, 2022 at 14:50 | comment | added | ron | The EXT4 file system can support volumes with sizes up to 1 exbibyte (EiB) and single files with sizes up to 16 tebibytes (TiB) with the standard 4 KiB block size; however the operating system support is different... Red Hat’s maximum supported size for Ext4 is 16TB in both Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, and 50TB in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. per redhat article 3129891 dated 9/4/2022. So good thing I chose XFS. Not sure what gnome disks would've done trying to format my 115tb volume as EXT4 under RHEL-7.9 | |
