The current 32-bit block addressing limits EROFS to a 16TiB maximum volume size with 4KiB blocks. However, several new use cases now require larger capacity support: - Massive datasets for model training in order to boost random sampling performance for each epoch; - Object storage clients using EROFS direct passthrough. This extends core on-disk structures to support 48-bit block addressing, such as inodes, device slots, and inode chunks. Additionally: - Expand superblock root NID to 8-byte `rootnid_8b` to enable full out-of-place update incremental builds; - Introduce `epoch` field in the superblock as well as add `mtime` field to 32-byte compact inodes for basic timestamp support.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
