The 32/64 bit question in this thread was the datatype used to store sector-numbers; the effect of using 32bit is that it limits the device-size to 1 (2) TB. If you're talking about 64 bit PCI busses and such; this is totally unrelated. And yes, we'd like to use LVM on FibreChannel devices, and need 64 bit sector numbers :) -- Ragnar Kjorstad Big Storage
