On the disk arrays, we need to create aprox. 2600 partitions, which may be mounted by the Linux servers (but no server can mount more than 16 partitions at any given moment). So here is the problem: the Fibre Channel devices are seen as SCSI devices, but Linux doesn't support more than 2048 partitions on SCSI disks (max 128 disks, max 16 partitions each). Does LVM works over Fibre Channel? Does it solves our problem? -- Florin Andrei mailto:florin@linuxstart.com http://members.linuxstart.com/~florin/ tel: +40-93-261162
