without knowing what version of mke2fs your using, it could be anything.
I just created several 56gigabyte volume sets using 4 Ultra IDE drives
(don't ask - they are literally *SCRATCH* systems)
mke2fs worked fine on them. It's all running on a Redhat 5.1 system,
with kernel 2.1.122 (need the knfs support)
