All, I was wondering if there''s any update on support for lba48. I saw some posts a couple months back indicating the qemu patch was easily backportable, but nothing since then. It''d be great if someone could drop this in, I''m currently having to split my LVM partitions up, and using a bunch of hard disks in my HVM to see all my data. This only goes so far though as I can''t seem to have more than 4 IDE devices per domU. Any help would be much appreciated, even if its some better ideas to work around not having lba48 support. Thanks! -sp __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Ahh the post-it is still on my desk. Anyways, here it is. It works fine for me, but use at your own risk and so forth: you are changing the code which accesses your data. If all goes as planned you should be able to apply the patch, make and install in the ioemu directory, and have at it without reboot. It would also be possible to have a separate ioemu with lba48 support, if you would rather do some more isolated testing first. Credit goes to Jens Axboe, who is responsible for the qemu patch--his original work can be found on the qemu-devel lists.
