Okay, after the suggestions I managed to label and newfs the disk - great!

Next problem: when I seem to do disk info queries like ioctl(DIOCGDINFO) - I
seem to get back incorrect information - is this still using the smaller
boundaries than 128GB?

Thanks
 Bruce

Hi there,

Thanks for this patch - I applied it manually to NetBSD 1.5.1, and now when
I boot up, the disk shows as 152GB - it is also a Maxtor 4G160J8. I then
labelled the disk as follows (showing relevant info only):

cylinders: 317632
total sectors: 320173056

c: 320172993   63 unused  0   0
d: 320173056    0 unused  0   0
f:  32017306   63 4.2BSD  1024 8192 16
g: 288155687 32017369 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16

I can write this label fine, and a 'newfs /dev/rwd1f' works. However, when I
do a 'newfs /dev/rwd1g' I get:
  With 17867 cylinder groups 35 cylinder group summary area are needed.
  Only 31 are available, reduce the number of cylinder groups

Do you know why this doesn't work?

Thanks
 Bruce

 I wrote Big Drive support for wd driver. But this patch can handle
only 32bit of block address. 2TB barrier still exists.
