Is there an inherent maximum limitation to the amount of physical secondary storage, specifically hard disks or cdrom, one can access under SCO UNIX 3.2v2.0 excluding type RFS or NFS? I checked out /usr/include/sys/params.h but couldn't find what (I thought) I was looking for. Theoretically what I'd like to be able to do is install nine DPT 2012B/90 EISA SCSI host adapters on one system and hang seven 1.2GB drives off of each for a total of 75.6GB, possible more if I subsititute large-capacity cdroms for some of the disks. Besides device driver mod's to subvert the major number/minor number restriction under SCO which only allows four disk drives per host adapter, what other kernel mod's would I need to investigate in the i/o subsystem? I believe there's also a two host-adapter per system restriction but I'm not sure. Any info would be greatly appreciated. -- Jeffrey J.
