Hi!

Is this patch supposed to fix > 32-bit disk addressing in filesystems?  I
just setup a ~4 TB hard disk for testing (in qemu), and added a (gpt) partition
at the end of it, surely above the 2 TiB barrier.

What I found puzzling is that grub-emu is capable of listing files in that
partition _without_ this patch.  Any idea why?  This wasn't really supposed
to work was it?

Note: grub itself can't read it yet, but this must be due to disk io problems
(asides from the lba32 limit in bochsbios).
