Date: Sun, 25 May 2003 10:44:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <07646f021c0237c8c7a1fc9f6740581f@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

I put code to handle 48-bit LBA mode (for drives >137GB)
into the sdata driver.  It seems to work (meaning blocks
written with it turned off and turned on go to the same
place on disk for the 137GB addressable in either mode),
but it would benefit from a reading by someone else who
understands 48-bit LBA mode.

Thanks.
