Hello Genodeans

I have created a run script that creates a file system a SD-Card (4GB) 
connected to my iMX6q.

Whenever I try to create a file system that is larger than 2048MB, mkfs.ext2 
fails with "Bad file descriptor while
zeroing block 953328 at end of filesystem".

This lets me think, that probably there is a overflow in a signed 32-Bit 
integer somewhere.

I have tried to understand how the sd_card_drv operates. If I'm understanding 
it right, the read_dma()/write_dma()
functions pass the block_number (64-Bit value) to the constructor of 
Write_multiple_block, which in turn stores it in
its arg member (32-Bit register).
But this, truncation of the block number, would not explain to me why the error 
occurs after 2GB, as the data on the
sd_card is accessed in blocks of 4096 bytes.

Can anybody help me with some clues, where to investigate further?

Best regards, Pirmin
