Ok, 2.4.20-lbd-1.patch does have the b_rsector change now, and XFS cvs
has the right code in it if you #define HAVE_SECTOR_T - I submitted a
patch to Peter to do this in his patch, btw.

So in short, 2.4.20-lbd-1.patch + xfs cvs should be a good combination.

I still need to test raid...

Yikes.  Well, a first step would be to ensure that LVM + LBD doesn't
break below 2T, I guess.
