Hi,
sorry that I bother the experts. I am very new in the RAID business and
tried to setup a large filesysten with three disks (2*18 GB + 1*9 GB SCSI,
Adaptec 2940 AU) by using RAID linear. I used a fresh SuSE 6.1
distribution (kernel 2.2.5)

Hallo Marc,
no I've not inreased the max num of disks (didn't even know).
Do I have to rebuild the kernel?

Yes. If you build RAID as a module then you won't have to reboot...

I'm trying to figure out a good set-up for a Linux machine (Netfinity
7000M10 or 8500M10, still deciding) for optimal sequential-block-write
performance (block size can be changed arbitrarily).
The machine will be hosting 240 SCSI drives (36.4GB each) (plus 1
or 2 to boot from). The drives will
The Software RAID solution will give you all the flexibility you need.
If you have already considered it, and discarded it as an option for
some reason, I'd be grateful to know about that reason.

While the limit may be higher

There are currently 128 possible SCSI disk device allocated in the
device map--see linux/Documentation/devices.txt . Now, each of these
supports partitions 1..15 (lower 4 bits) with 0 being the raw device,
and the other bits for the base device are mapped into various places.
There is a
Found part of my problem. The HOWTO says you have to do a mkraid on linear
arrays, but the man pages say you do not have to do mkraid. So, I changed my
defination from linear to RAID-0 and it works fine.
So, how does one make a linear array?

Hi,
there's another problem with linux that hasn't been mentioned at the list:
with ext2 the maximum filesize is 2 GByte. Maybe there's a patch out there
but i don't think so because it is a design limitation. But the linux
people are working on a 64-bit journalling file system maybe called
