The limit is 255 but apar IC35394 was opened against a problem which causes the journal daemon to crash when configured with more than 15 drives (15 is ok, 16 or more crashes).
The fix for this should be included in the next ptf but you might want to check with support to be sure. Hope this helps ....

Is there a documented limit to the number of drives that can added to the Journal service? I can't seem to get more than 10-11 drives configured. After that the Journal service will fail to start. I've poked around in the manuals a bit but haven't found anything that states there is a limit. We've got a couple of fileservers pushing 20 drives. Can you help clear this last question up?
