Don- too bad- I'm over in NAS in building N-258 and just took down the h/w
where we could test this (Alpha 4100 with 8 Qlogic cards && 8 150GB MegaDrive
RAID arrays)- We're excessing this equipment because the mass storage group's
work was terminated due to budgetary goop.
Typically there's no problem in *recognizing* raw SCSI disk, or RAID units
that look like a SCSI disks- Mike or others will have to speak about how well
specifical supported RAID cards for FreeBSD will handle something that large.
A more problematic issue is whether FFS can reliably handle > 1TB. We did some
tests with NetBSD at 1TB a couple of years ago- you have to use larger block
and frag sizes (we were using 32k/8k)- but I've never myelf gotten FreeBSD up
above 500GB. I was going to do so when the rather flakey h/w I was on above
was set to be excessed. If I'd known you needed the work done- I could have
kept it going a couple more weeks and we could worked on sorting it out.
