Re: df incorrectly handles volumes > 4TB

I believe that "CONFIG_LPD" must be a typo as it doesn't exist as an option.
The author probably meant "CONFIG_LBD", which enables large block device
support.  All of my systems are already built with 'CONFIG_LBD".

I'm going to try posting this issue to the ext-users list.
