I've searched for this information in several places, but was unable
to find a satisfactory answer. If this is in a FAQ somewhere that I've
missed, please feel free to redirect me.
Why is there a limit of 15 SCSI devices per drive? Can it (will it) be
increased ever?
The motivation for asking: We are using Sybase, and it has a limit of
2GB on raw devices. When we put together a RAID array larger than 30
GB, we will be unable to utilize all the space this way and still have
it spread across as many drives as possible (7 in our case). We could
format the devices and Sybase then has no limit (it will create 2GB
virtual devices on the filesystem), but we then take a performance
hit.
What we'd like to do is be able to create more than 15 2GB raw devices
per array.
Thank you for any information you can provide,
