Haven't had time to test (stuck at work), but I will trust your word :) Well, this sounds nice and sensible. I am curious though if there have been any numbers regarding how much do "actual" drive sizes vary in the real world when it comes to disks of same manufacturer/model/size. I guess this probably varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but some average estimates would be nice, just so that one could evaluate whether this 64k barrier is enough.
