Hello,

What does "very big device. try to use READ CAPACITY(16)" mean for user? Is this advice for driver developer or for user (if for user then what does it mean exactly) ?

It isn't really advice at all, just indicates that the sd driver needed to use the bigger version of READ CAPACITY for that device. It looks like that message has now been reworded to "trying to use" instead of "try to use", so it doesn't sound like it's saying the user has to do something.
