See > PR 15611, and wd.c revs 1.218, 1.219 and 1.186.2.5. I'm unsure where to go with this. Do Bruce's patches on PR 15611 allow for the use of >32GB filesystems in RELENG_3 without the use of LBA mode? Irrespective, since there's no future release scheduled on the RELENG_3 line, I think the way to go with this one is to add an errata entry for 3.5-RELEASE. However, I can't write the text without understanding the problem fully, and I can't test this out myself because I don't have enough scratch hardware. Can anyone come up with a description for the erratum, possibly letting me know whether or not Bruce's patches from PR 15611 are appropriate for inclusion? Ciao, Sheldon.
