I'm working on an 18-disk raid system, but I've heard a couple
responses implying that larger sized arrays do not work well with
software raid. I still don't see why. As long as there is no bottleneck
in the system it seems that things should work quite nicely.
Out of curiosity, what is the largest/fastest system that has been
built using software raid?
