Re: [PATCH] sun disk label: fix signed int usage for sector count


The current sun disklabel code uses a signed int for the sector count. When
partitions larger than 1 TB are used, the cast to a sector_t causes the
partition sizes to be invalid:


Is not it that the sun disklabel does not even support
[ptabs/partitions] more than 1 TB?
