Question on extended LBA (48Bit) adressing of HDD
Dear listmembers,
does anyone of you know how to get a 400 GByte AT - drive formatted to it's full capacity? I am limited to 137GByte, whatever I try to do. My main problem is to understand what is the root cause for this limitation. fdisk does not allow me to assign values crossing this limit. hdparm returns this limit - even though I know exactly that the device is larger than that.
Is this a controler issue? A driver issue?
Many thanks for helping,
take care
