only say that I'll never buy a 3ware/LSI controller again, because of that.)
Btw: You can change that on LSI MegaRAID controllers. My dear friends
from Thomas-Krenn.AG have written it into their wiki:

Thanks for the link, but...
The driver megaraid_sas has a module parameter "max_sectors".
... the driver "3w-sas" that drives the 3ware/LSI 9750 controller does not
have such an option, and if I interpret the comments in that driver correctly,
this is due to a hardware (buffer) limitation.
LSI MegaRAID controllers don't seem to support JBOD (anymore),
which would be reason enough for me to not buy them.
