We have 50 36G disks per loop and still see excellent performance. Since most
disks are dual ported you can run two loops and get 100 disks (this is what we
are doing, although not with GFS yet). That's a lot of storage, probably more
than people have been talking about NFS mounting.

Every one we don't catch would be a "yet another major ms security hole",
and the theory tells us we can't catch all of them. So, we're just not
going to start down that path.
