Yes, greater than 2TB works on 64-bit but not 32-bit. It's due to a limitation in the NBD kernel ioctls (which nbd-client uses to set up the nbd device). You might be able to increase the NBD block size (using NBD_SET_BLKSIZE ioctl) and get > 2TB working on 32-bit -- I've not tried. -- Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
