Both of them never have been in the business of putting hard limits in place. We currently have a hard limit in place because the storage for the cdb is allocated statically. This is a desin decision done more than ten years ago that we're slowly trying to fix. Second we have a facility to allow LLDDs limit the size of the cdb they receive. It's not mandatory in any way, but very useful for those "smart" HBAs that can't deal with larger dbs due to hardware limitations. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
