Bug ID: 115351
Summary: redundant pointless messages
Product: IO/Storage
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: All
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: P1
Component: SCSI
Assignee: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
Reporter: spamme@ecybernard.com
Regression: No

First, why does it have to log "Very big device" 44 times on startup.
Second, Given the size of ALL modern hard drives an array of almost any size
probably triggers this warning.

Suggestion: just get rid of this pointless message. Maybe you should just
always use 16, or maybe for future proofing go to 24 or 32.
