Hmm, is it originated from: (2^32-1) - (2^32-1)%512 = 4294966784 bytes = 8388607 (512-byte) blocks = 0x7fffff for the byte count (of a bio?) is limited by a 32-bit representation (2^32-1) as well just like the block count in the two scsi commands? What about SD_MAX_XFER_BLOCKS then? On 10 March 2016 at 10:32, Martin K.
