Re: [cobalt-developers] using large drives

[Marco Baurdoux <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Harald,
Could you tell me what you modified on your Raq to make it support 40+
disks. Because we had several goes with a Raq4 basis on which we run RaQ3
OS, because we made a lot of changes to the raq3 soft.

However, we simply do not manage to make a single 32 ++ disk run on the raq.
Any help would be more than welcome.
