Hmm there is a workaround in -current for using 48bit access to the
old promises, however it should only engage when you access areas
beyond 137G on the drives.
However using 48bit modes on older controllers are not really
a good idea as they tend to do wierd things...

> Okay... Perhaps I'm just a dumbass with a failing drive? For the longest time, I've thought the hardware needed to support the large drives. From the reading I've just done, that doesn't seem to be the case. I certainly hope this brand new drive isn't failing tho. I really hate doing hardware warranty returns.
