I think Windows is using the information from >the partitions to >compute the size, not from the CSD. I think so. If the poster uses d and /dev/null to Ero the start of the card, and then checks how windows deals with it, we will soon know. I think it is worth having a blacklist or module options to indicate that the USB host needs to implement the 2GB hack. Generally - as there seem to be many hack and quirk lists building up - I'm tending towards preferring a text database of such quirks that can be updated seperately from kernel releases. This would make it simpler for many techie-but-not-kernel-hacker users to provide such information. As an example it took me half an hour to test the quirks for a quad usb hid device using khexedit to patch in a usb-I'd to an existing driver. It took 8 hours to get a kernel compiled and patch. I still don't have time to verify if both quirks for another dual usb are actually required and so that patch isn't adopted yet. Anyway...
