imsm: 32 bit sector counts and > 2TB disks
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
It appears that the imsm format only uses 32 bits to represent the sector counts used from each disk. It appears that at least on Windows, a disk > 2 TB works so could someone from intel explain how this is supposed to work?

It certainly does. I built a Supermicro server with 3TB drives and IMSM RAID a couple of weeks ago.

I'd be interested too. If I need to expand the array on the above, I was expecting to use a Linux live CD and mdadm to do the reshape.
Cheers,
