Hi Marcin, I'm using this on one system here - it has BIOS without LBA32, and without support for >30GB disks, but I needed to put large disk with already existing system to it, and using some disk manager was only choice (EZDrive, using 0_to_1 remap)... I know that 0_to_1 remap is broken for nr_sectors > 1, but it is hard to use loop device if system does not come up without boot manager at all.
