large file?

[Jeff Bailey]

I got this a few times while untaring gcc onto a new partition:

ext2fs: /dev/hd0s9: warning: cannot handle large file inode 110459

When I was building, as puked saying it couldn't create a file that
large or something.  When I reran make it proceeded fine.

So I know my filesystem is screwed up in someway (even though it
passes an e2fsck -f).  Can I usefully troubleshoot this?

I'm trying to think of what's special about *this* partition versus
the others.  The only thing I can think of is that I made it from
inside the Hurd (A stdio based Hurd), and the other two were made from
Linux.

If there's nothing I can do, no worries, I'll just mke2fs it from
Linux instead and keep going.
