In the current source tree, in disk/part_efi.c , we see:
/*
* Problems with CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
*
* struct disk_partition.start in include/part.h is sized as ulong.
* When CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA is activated, lbaint_t changes from ulong
to uint64_t.
* For now, it is cast back to ulong at assignment.
*
* This limits the maximum size of addressable storage to < 2 Terra Bytes
*/
Is this last comment correct, that there is indeed a maximum size of
addressable storage less that 2TB?
Or is this an old comment that was never removed?
Thanks,
Davy
