[Bug 2063369] Re: e2image reports invalid argument when used with big partitions

[Jaromír Cápík]

Not sure how the truncate tool works internally, but it does the same
with the -s parameter.

$ truncate -s 48T  size-test 
truncate: failed to truncate 'size-test' at 52776558133248 bytes: File too large
