>Description:
When growfs prints out the cylinder numbers that are used for suber-block backups, it prints negative numbers for cylinders that are larger than 2^31.

The utility still works (at least it did for me when growing a 1.3 TB file system to 1.5 TB), but it looks quite worrying.  I for one did not proceed to actually run the tool (after having tested with -N) until I had checked the source code to see that the problem only appears in the printout.

>How-To-Repeat:
Run growfs on a file system larger than 1 TB.
>Fix:
