Is this patch supposed to fix > 32-bit disk addressing in filesystems? I just setup a ~4 TB hard disk for testing (in qemu), and added a (gpt) partition at the end of it, surely above the 2 TiB barrier. What I found puzzling is that grub-emu is capable of listing files in that partition _without_ this patch. Any idea why? This wasn't really supposed to work was it? Note: grub itself can't read it yet, but this must be due to disk io problems (asides from the lba32 limit in bochsbios). -- Robert Millan I know my rights; I want my phone call!
