Big hard drives

[Patryk Łogiewa <silverdr%inet.com.pl@localhost>]

Hi everyone.

Does anyone know the exact specifications of the (in)famous 4GB hard drive
limit?

AFAIK it is the matter of the number of addressable blocks but what are the
_exact_ limits? Drive size? Partitions size?

Why do I ask here? Since I've heard that NetBSD has no problems accessing the
drives above the limits, I want to use All the HDD space that can be accessed
from AmigaOS - for AmigaOS and all that is above the limits for NetBSD.

Could someone confirm or deny if I am right thinking this way? And give me
clues about the exact limits or at least what exactly causes them so I could
calculate them myself.

Thanks in advance.
