Anyone could test Sascha's patch? Especially Frédédic, can you test it and see how this works with your enabling 64-bit LBA on LaCie kirkwood products?
Amicalement,
I applied Sascha patch with 64-bit LBA enabled. I verifyed it by using the "ide read" command. Logs are attached for u-boot tests, with and without the patch. I added the output of dd of the same block on a linux machine in order to verify the content. There is still issues to access file on a ext fs beyond the 2.1 limit (see end of logs).
However, the patch issues no warning at compile time and fixes the ide block layer.
OK -- anyone has any idea why Sasha's patch fixes reading from "far" blocks but does not fix ex2ls? Frankly, I'd prefer it if the patch fixed it all. :)
Best regards,
Amicalement,
