Comment 133 for bug 599255

Sorry Phillip if I wasn't clear, what I meant to say was that with virtual drives in both virtualbox and qemu windows 7 created a GPT with a 512 bytes per sector size no matter the drive size.

So I concluded that it must be the promise raid driver itself that creates the larger sector size which windows uses as opposed windows creating this itself. So whatever changes are made to dmraid would have to be specific to the pdc driver.

However I do not have a promise raid chip set to be able to test larger arrays in real life but the evidence from Henry and the other thread I found indicate that this is the promise raid drivers behaviour.
