Is there a maximum partition size and maximum number of real devices (I
know about MAX_REAL in the md_k.h file) that can be used on the Sparc
platform?
I've recompiled the kernel with MAX_REAL set to 64, and it still limits me
to 12.
The reason I'm looking for a number so high, is that I can't seem to make
large partitions work. They crash and burn when you try to restart the md
device. I've tried to use a full 9G partition on 10 9G drives to make a
~90G raid device, but it kept getting confused. I tried a group of 10 2G
partitions and it worked fine. However, I'm not looking for a 20G file
system. I need a 90G file system. So I thought I'd try and just use 40 2G
paritions, and be almost there, but alas, it looks like 12 max real
devices seems to be a hard limit.
Any thoughts on any possible fixes?
