Hit the 128 drive limit kernel 2.4.16 of sd.c (scsi driver). sd.c uses 4 bits for a partition number, and 8 Major dev numbers. It does not look cool to add more Major numbers. I thought about Just using 3 bits for a partition, but probably not good idea to reduce functionality of an existing driver (would limit to 8 partitions).. and 256 drives.. Looks like there are hard coded " x << 4" hardcoded all over the driver for the 4 bit partitions, so it is more than changing a few macros. Figured it may be better to make a renamed copy of sd.c, call it something else (new custom dev), and hack that to remove all partitions to allow 256 drives on 1 Major number? Anybody know if this exists already someplace? thanks in advance.. --ghg - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
