Disks we're not limited to <3 TB on 32b systems. The only limit there ever was old MS FAT.
The 32 bit limit that was mentioned in an Ubuntu forum relates to some USB<->SATA converters. Apparently some controllers have internal sector registers that are only 32 bits.
Number of 512 byte sectors in 3 TB drive 3e12 / 512 = 5.9e9 sectors Assuming 32 bit wrapping (modulo 2^32) 5.9e9 - 2^32 = 1.6e9 sectors Drive size after wrapping 1.6e9 * 512 = 801 GB galen -- Galen Seitz gal...@seitzassoc.com _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
