The question is: why linux kernel (2.6.24 but it's the same in older kernels) see only 128K as it's max_sectors_kb ? It's limited by max_hw_segments_kb which i think should be 256 with a 256 k stripe. It seems hardcoded somewhere, altough in 3w-9xxx.c i can't find it. I'm running firmware FE9X 3.08.02.007 and driver version 2.26.02.010 Can someone help me?
