>Description:
With a 30G filesystem, using the following parameters:
a: 60030369 63 4.4LFS 2048 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0*- 59553)
..fsck_lfs wants to allocate a blockmap with:
blockmap = (ino_t *)malloc(maxfsblock * sizeof(ino_t));
But, maxfsblock == 60030369, so that obviously is too much to ask for,
and the malloc() will fail.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run fsck_lfs on a filesystem with the parameters as above, and see
it abort.
>Fix:
Disabling VERBOSE_BLOCKMAP makes it work again.
