Thats fixed in 2.5 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?
