seek range maximum size limit

Greetings,
 
I have found that Iometer will not allow me to address more than 2^31-1 sectors for a Maximum Disk Size. That's a size limit of only 1024GB. This limit is causing some problems with the large SATA drive volumes I create in my array. Can this be corrected or modified to utilize a much larger limit, such as 2^64-1? Or at least 2^32-1 for now? We have reworked the source code to try to redefine this variable but have not yet been successful. If someone can define all the changes required we could probably implement them in a local build.
 
Thanks,
Doug Child

Hi Doug, Good catch. In fact, I added 64bit support for starting offset, but it looks like I omitted it for the maximum disk value. If you are looking at the latest sources, you can clone the code for starting_sector and apply it to maximum_size if you want to try a local build (look for GetDlgItemInt64()). I will address this as soon as I can (or if and when you send me your changes. :) 
 
Thanks,
Ved
