Ye, I think so too. I didn't test the SATA/IDE code though, so it would
be great if you could before this lands in a release. There might be other
limitations I am not aware of. For USB, new SCSI commands have to be added
to support the bigger LBAs. I just sent out a series to support USB drives
exceeding 2 TiB.

Cheers,
Ahmad
