#70 Iometer Large Disk Support

[Gavin Martin]

I have been trying to confirm that Iometer supports disks larger than 2.2TB, but it does not seem to be working.

I have written a pattern to specific LBA's above 2.2TB and when I put the LBA into the Disk Starting Sector field in the Iometer GUI and perform a sequential write I would expect the pattern to be overwritten, but this is not the case. For LBA's below 2TB this works, but not above 2TB. I have tried this with the 2008 version and the RC1.1 version, both 32bit and 64bit on a Windows 2003 64bit server installation, and neither seem to work above 2TB.

Does the Disk Starting Sector field accept LBA's larger than 2TB?

I should also state that the LBA ranges I'm looking at are '4613734300' (roughly 2.2TB), and '5859375000' (roughly 3TB). Iometer cannot write to these LBA's

Hi, Could you please confirm that this happens with both sequential and random I/O?
