Yes, that is correct. So far we have only tested on RHEL5, but I believe that this should also work in theory on SLES11. However, we have so far been unable to find a volunteer able to help with SLES11 testing to confirm that the practice matches up with the theory. I have been talking with a couple of our OEM partners about this possibility so hopefully we can get this done in the near future. A couple of sites have been testing 16TB LUNs on RHEL with a pre-release version of 1.8.2 and the feedback so far has been positive.
