It may not matter too too much, but blocks are being passed around as 'ints'. On the ia32 architecture, this implies a maximum of 512*2G->1T disk size. Probably don't need to worry about this today, but in a few years? Should we be changing the internal interfaces to use a long (or a long unsigned -- why signed?) Maybe for 2.5/2.6 timeframe? Just curious...
