Joanne,

Martin's boot log (including your patch) says:

Jun 19 21:19:09 merkaba kernel: [ 7891.843284]  sdb: RDSK (512) sdb1
(LNX^@)(res 2 spb 1) sdb2 (JXF^D)(res 2 spb 1) sdb3 (DOS^C)(res 2 spb
4)
Jun 19 21:19:09 merkaba kernel: [ 7891.844055] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdb]
Attached SCSI disk

so it's indeed a case of self inflicted damage (RDSK (512) means 512
byte blocks) and can be worked around by using a different block size.

Your memory serves right indeed - blocksize is in 512 bytes units.
I'll still submit a patch to Jens anyway as this may bite others yet.

Cheers,

  Michael

If memory serves the RDBs think in blocks rather than bytes so it should
work up to 2 gigablocks whatever your block size is. 512 blocks is
2199023255552 bytes. But that wastes just a WHOLE LOT of disk in block maps.
Go up to 4096 or 8192. The latter is 35 TB.

test results at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43511
indicate the RDB parser bug is fixed by the patch given there, so if
Martin now submits the patch, all should be well?


Ok, better be honest than having anyone waiting for it:

I do not care enough about this, in order to motivate myself preparing
the a patch from Joanne Dow´s fix.

I am not even using my Amiga boxes anymore, not even the Sam440ep which
I still have in my apartment.

So RDB support in Linux it remains broken for disks larger 2 TB, unless
someone else does.

Thanks.
