Sheesh, I know who is a candiated for me to dump the maintainership on in
the future! This will take a little time to reveiw; however, I know of no
one who runs systems in this scale.
Also "t" is the last drive.
If you need more drives, use the upper half of the current majors
/dev/hdu 3,128
/dev/hdv 3,192
Repeat ... that will make it to 20 channels.
Cheers,
