hi,
can any one know how to change the block size >4096 ,i changed it to
1024,2048,4096 by mke2fs tool....but now i want to change more than
4096 ,its not allowing to change ...

i think we can extend the block size upto page size(16 bit ) =64k,,,at
least i want to change upto 16k....is there any way to achieve
this..........
presently i'm using redhat version 9(kernel 2.4.20-8)

As the documentation says, valid block sizes are 1024,2048 and 4096.
That's the blocksizes supported by ext2/3, though I don't know wether
that's changed in more recent kernels.
