> 2TB or 512 4G drives.

Bzzt but thank you for playing!!  ;-)  I can't believe I get to correct
Terry of all people...  ;-)

There is currently a limit of 32 possible SCSI disks, due to the sd()
device number macros.

(yes I realize this is slated to "go away", but the fact is, it's a limit
in today's released versions)

This suggests that you could create a 128GB array out of conventional 4GB
disks, or a 736GB array out of the new Elite 23GB drives..

Or you could get yourself a RAID that appears as a single SCSI target and do
whatever the heck you want.
