My understanding is that the part you're accessing, above 33.6 gig, wraps around the int or whatever they use(i'm not a programmer, and i'm not going to think about what it'd actually be <grin>)

2.2.17 solves the problem. The 2.2.12 kernel definitely goes berserk when faced with blocks way up there. With 2.2.17, the whole disk works fine.

Thanks for the fast response.
