This is not an rdiff-backup bug.

This may or may not be a GRUB bug.

I try to use two SATA HD(750G) to create RAID0, so the raid capacity is 1.3TB. Then I install SLES10 on this RAID, after reboot, the grub will show "Error 24".
I traced the source codes of grub-0.27, in stage2/disk_io.c, the devread(..) treat "sector" as "int", so if the sector > 0x7FFFFFFF, it will show error 24. And when reboot sles10, the grub will try to access sectors above 1TB.
Is this issue GRUB limitation or bugs?
