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. ...
