Dreamcast lba 150 offset?

[MoeFoh]

I been doing some reading, and still don't have a good understanding of the 150 lba offset used with gdi image dumps. Why does it exist in the first place? What is the LBA of track 3?

Oddly enough, dumpers were told to subtract 150 from the reported lba when the .gdi text was created, even though the reported lba was correct (45150).

you are confusing LBA and LSN
Logical Block Address = 45000
Logical Sector Number = 45150

That makes sense. You're the first one to mention 'Logical Sector Number'.
