Please tell me, if I got wrong here. For me "Add support to CAM for devices with more than 2^32 blocks. (2TB if you're using 512 byte blocks)." sounds like "if you use double sized blocks you will have double-sized limit with the same number of blocks." And 1kb would extend the 2TB limit to 4TB, what would work for me here. Regards Raphael BeckerReceived on Wed Jun 08 2005 - 12:15:55 UTC
