Error NNNN: Conventional RDBs cannot define more than 4,294,967,296 blocks.
or
Error NNNN: Conventional RDB block count overflow.
That is a HARD limit. The documentation for error NNNN should suggest larger
logical block (cluster, whatever) sizes as a way out. Of course, block size
"could" go up to at least 65536 bytes (if the nonsense size 0 is reinterpreted).
Then Bob's your uncle up to 281 TB. It should also include a dry notation that
you are best off with a power of 2 block size larger than or equal to the disk's
actual sector size, if you can learn that.

I´d word this:

AmigaOS developers can do 64 bit math on a 32 bit operating system. Just
like Linux can.

And as stated in my other reply to the patch:
partition needs 64 bit disk device support in AmigaOS or AmigaOS like
operating systems (NSD64, TD64 or SCSI direct)
see my other reply to the patch and my other mails in the
"Re: moving affs + RDB partition support to staging?" thread as to why.
And for references.
Thanks,
