Mark, Yes, no problem there.
For example, on this system I added 120-124, with 120-123 working OK, but I was unable to get 124 working, as dasdaa was unrecognizable to the mke2fs utility, so I had to remove it to get SLES7 to boot completely.

Jim, Are the device nodes defined in /dev?? If not, then you should just be able to do "mknod" commands to add them. Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Jim Rich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 26 Filesystem Limit? I seem to have found a limit of 26 filesystems in my SuSE SLES7, unless I'm overlooking something. I can mount more than 26 with no problem, but dasdfmt and mke2fs will not process those past 26. Then I booted off the CD-Rom, specified just the new drives, did dasdfmt and mke2fs on them, rebooted, and got errors on the filesystems past 26. Has anyone succeeded in mounting more than 26 working filesystems? How? Thanks, Jim Rich
