There are 3 cases I'd like to have tested:
- people with 1 to 16 SCSI discs
- people with 17 to 128 SCSI discs
- people with >128 SCSI discs
because each of these exercises a slightly different setup path.
Please send success or failure reports to me.
REMINDER: be careful with this patch. It could corrupt your FS.
Regards,
Richard....
