Does Linux support 64-bit SCSI LUN addressing?
No. Linux supports 32 bit LUNs.
Suppose I have a system that can create SCSI LUNs that are greater than 2TB using a block size of 512 bytes and can accept 16 byte CDBs, can I use this LUN with a 2.6 series Linux kernel?
There is no relationship between 64 bit LUNS (which, for example, support a hierarchy of up to 4, 16 bit LUNs) and the ability of a logical unit (LU) (e.g. a disk) to support 64 bit logical block addressing (LBA). Christoph's reply more accurately addresses the question I think you were trying to ask... In your title perhaps you could: s/LUN addressing/LBAs/ LUNs are about device addressing; LBAs are about block (or sector) addressing on a block device.
