Well, until recently I didn't expect to come anywhere near, so I ignored
anything that might have been said about it. As usually, you only realize
it when it's somewhat late ...
... and now I have a 4.1 GB disk and want to use it with Linux.
After some staring at the screen, it dawned to me that there was a problem
with things like lseek on a /dev/sda of this size, which explains why
Linux fdisk doesn't work.
Before trying to address this, I thought I'd find out what other parts of
the picture are missing, especially in the fs and device area.
What can go wrong when a disk has slightly more than 2^32 bytes apacity?
And what will most certainly go wrong?
Hopefully some of you can give me some ideas where to look at.
