BTW - anybody who uses 512 byte blocks with an Amiga file system is a famn dool.

If memory serves the RDBs think in blocks rather than bytes so it should work up to 2 gigablocks whatever your block size is. 512 blocks is 2199023255552 bytes. But that wastes just a WHOLE LOT of disk in block maps. Go up to 4096 or 8192. The latter is 35 TB.

indicate the RDB parser bug is fixed by the patch given there, so if
Martin now submits the patch, all should be well?

Ok, better be honest than having anyone waiting for it:

I do not care enough about this, in order to motivate myself preparing
the a patch from Joanne DowÂs fix.

I am not even using my Amiga boxes anymore, not even the Sam440ep which
I still have in my apartment.

So RDB support in Linux it remains broken for disks larger 2 TB, unless
someone else does.

Thanks.
