[Qemu-devel] Question about maximum disk size of a dynamic hard disk

[Lyu Mitnick]

Hello Kevin, Stefan and all

There is a sentence "The maximum size of a dynamic hard disk is 2040 GB. 

The actual size is restricted by the underlying disk hardware protocol. For example, 

ATA hard disks have a 127-GB limit" in VHD specification. This limitation infected the

algorithm of block/vpc.c:calculate_geometry(). However, SATA disk is used to 

replace traditional IDE disk now. I am wondering whether is possible to support that

VHD is bigger than 127-GB(SATA disk underlying)??

Thanks

Mitnick
