The 16-scsi-drive limitation that existed (at least at one time).
While the limit may be higher now, being over 240 (ideally 256 minimum
seems unlikely (would require 16 device major's afaict, at least with
the current partition/minor config). If this limitation is gone, I
would *love* to do pure s/w raid, that's for sure...
