$ grep LBD /boot/config* /boot/config-2.6.18-6-amd64:CONFIG_LBD=y Is it at all concerning that the sd driver tries a read capacity 16 and fails? I propose the following sequence of events: 1) 'sd' block device tries to read capacity 16 and fails because CONFIG_LBD is not asserted, defaulting to a size of 2TB 2) 'hfsplus' then tries to mount this larger-than-2TB filesystem and is successful 3) Writes to this inappropriately mounted filesystem fail once they run off of the edge I submit that the proposed patch is in error, and that hfsplus does very well support >2TB filesystems on Linux. Further, hfsplus and all filesystem drivers should check for the degenerate case of block device Dan Dennison
