I'd really like to be able to throw, say, four HBAs into my system and have it use all of them simultaneously and not have to spend all sorts of time trying to set up all 200+ LUNs that I have available to me by hand. Think 200 LUNs presented * 4 HBAs * 4 paths at the controller end per LUN. That's quite a bit of setup to me. - Pete - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
