Am I crazy or is this test actually checking that the end is not beyond
4096MB instead of 4MB?


Erm,

sector_size (unit bytes/sector) * geometry (unit sectors) = size (unit bytes)
size (unit bytes) / 1048576 (1 Megi no unit) = size (unit Megi bytes)

Exactly -- if we want 4MB, why are we comparing the size in MB to the
number 4096?


/me removes egg from face.

Good point, so maybe we want it to be below 4 GB ? Or maybe the code indeed is broken.

Regards,

Hans
