Hi The type daddr_t is defined to be long but per some IBM documentation, it is "used for disk addresses, except in i-nodes on disk. The */usr/include/sys/filsys.h* file format describes the format of disk addresses used in i-nodes." RTEMS has this in our BSD derived code and 32-bits is too small for disk addresses. We need it to be 64-bits at least for us. Can I change it to be 64-bits for all targets? Thanks. --joel
