[lustre-devel] LU-17573. lets use ext4 limit for uninitiated object.

We encountered a similar issue after setting PFL and all OSTs ended up with a file too large error: (Lustre 2.15.5)
here is how we reproduced the error:
===================================================

==============================================


If one of the watcher could confirm/review the current fix for this ticket really addresses the error we encountered.

thanks
