The upper limit appears to be 512 (i.e. up to /dev/da511), though I can't see any reason for this limit based on the layout of the minor device number. > I recall encountering a boundary of 4 drives, back a release or > three ago. I'm pretty sure it was never this low. It's possible that there were only device nodes for four disks, but that has absolutely nothing to do with the kernel. You may need to apply a bit of /dev/MAKEDEV until you can upgrade to devfs, however. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
