2TB and fdisk  
With QNX 6.4.1 and QNX 6.5.0. If a partition has over 2Millions block the value is showed as negative.
RE: 2TB and fdisk  
Mario,

Did you mean 2 Million or 2 Billion blocks?  Are you trying to create a
partition larger than 2TB?

Sorry I meant 2Billions (4Billions blocs).  The disk is 2TB and I`m attempting to create a single partition.  That being
 said it works, it`s just that fdisk will display the value as negative if the partition has over 2Billions blocs (1Gig)
.

I also stumble upon mkqnx6fs that would not handle partition over 1G (2Billion blocs) but that seems to be fixed in 6.5.
0  M8.

Ah, alrighty.  I'll open a PR on that.
