With 32-bit logical block numbers and the common value of 512 bytes per block, you can address 2^(32+9) 2199023255552 bytes, or 2^(32+9)/(2^30) 2048 gigabytes. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
