Can I ask what the symptoms of this failure to support >1Tb volumes
would be? Failure to identify the device? Random read/write failures?
Completely corrupted disk? It's the first time I've heard this!

The reason I ask is because we have a Storcase IDE to SCSI raid
enclosure with RAID controller here containing 8x Maxtor 160Gb disks
(configured as one RAID 3 volume), and it has been 100% reliable since
day one. No strangeness, failures of any sort, errors in syslog etc.

Vendor: DS570     Model:                   Rev: 0001
Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 03
scsi2:A:6:0: Tagged Queuing enabled.  Depth 253

(scsi2:A:6): 160.000MB/s transfers (80.000MHz DT, offset 31, 16bit)
SCSI device sdb: -2053816320 512-byte hdwr sectors (47958 MB)

So I see the same problem as Didier, but fdisk version 2.11f got the
size right under 2.4.19-ac4:

df -kl
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1            1102989912 847397312 199563908  81% /local


Or am I missing something?

Simon
