State Changed From-To: open->analyzed It appears the culprit is in /usr/src/lib/libdisk/libdisk.h, #define MAX_NO_DISKS 20 I'll see if we can bump this number to 32 without breaking anything. Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->schweikh I'm working on libdisk anyway. State Changed From-To: analyzed->closed Bumped max no of disks to 32 in libdisk. Another magic number, hmm. Would anyone consider it silly to bump this number even further to max-no-of-scsi controllers * max-channels-per controller * 15 disks per channel? Does anyone know of systems with > 32 disks? |
- Even with all proper /dev entries present, sysinstall displays only the first 20 devices, rendering it impossible to access da20+. lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq Select Drive(s) qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x Please select the drive, or drives, on which you wish to perform x x this operation.
