Try this patch and let me know how it goes. You'll have to specify
the file name of /sys/gnu/ext2fs/ext2_inode_cnv.c to patch(1) manually,
then either buildkernel or rebuild only ext2fs.ko. If the file shows
up with the correct size in a directory listing, make sure you can actually
read data past 4 GB.
