From af3a2cd6b8a479345786e7fe5e199ad2f6240e56 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Sat, 8 May 2010 08:20:17 +1000 Subject: md: Fix read balancing in RAID1 and RAID10 on drives > 2TB read_balance uses a "unsigned long" for a sector number which will get truncated beyond 2TB. This will cause read-balancing to be non-optimal, and can cause data to be read from the 'wrong' branch during a resync. This has a very small chance of returning wrong data.
