I can't seem to find this anywhere. I'm lookin got build a large file
server (24 discs), with two jbods (scsi). I was considering software
raid, but I can't seem to find out what the max number of discs a 2.4
or 2.6 kernel would take. Anyone know of the top of their heads? I've
been dissappointed with the various hardware based raid systems I've
tried, and a nice fast gentoo install shouldn't have any probs with
speed. This machine would be dedicated to file serving, so I wouldn't
be stealing cpu cycles from other processes.....
