Hello,
I have a new storage device where I intended to use a huge logical volume
(~ 4TB) using an aic79xx card. Unfortunately, if I make a LV that big,
linux detects that as a disk with 0 cylinders.
After asking the manufacturer (Infortrend), they suggested that the HBA
hardware AND driver needs to support 64-bit LBA addressing and to their
knowledge, only LSI HBA's do that.
So, do aic79xx card and driver support 64-bit LBA addressing?
If not - is it a hardware issue, a driver issue or both?
Thanks, Danilo
