 * From: Michael Smith <msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au>

 * As for size, Satoshi (the guy that integrated the 'ccd' driver from NetBSD)
 * has a farm well into the hundreds of GB (last I saw, could be bigger now)
 * running as a single filesystem.

I'm not running that daily, as our research group decided to use
Solaris. :(  But I have seen a df output of a 200GB filesystem, so
it's doable.

BTW, Chad has only 5 disks so this won't be an issue, but for others
out there, if you want to connect more than 32 disks, don't forget
you'll need the latest MAKEDEV and sys/disklabel.h (either of current
2.2 or 3.0 will do).
