Nope, I bothered to read the source code includes files. As long as anything in
the OS uses the blocks per cylinder variables in various structures you're SOL.
rdb_CylinderBlocks is just for starters. The GlobalVec entry also includes a
CylinderBlocks entry. And it's only uint32_t size.
As I say, good luck gentlemen. Changes, big changes, probably need to be made to
go beyond 2TB except by using larger block sizes. But, 64k block sizes are sort
of "putrid" to say the least.
