my linux box has the following SCSI configuration :

        SCSI Adapter: AIC-7870 (AIC-787x chipset)
            Host Bus: Wide
             Base IO: 0x600
                 IRQ: 11
                SCBs: Used 10, HW 16, Page 16
          Interrupts: 2756537
       Serial EEPROM: False
Extended Translation: Disabled
      SCSI Bus Reset: Enabled
          Ultra SCSI: Disabled
   Target Disconnect: Enabled

I have a SCSI disk array with 5 hard disks and other 2 free locations, 1 CD and a
tape.

64MB of RAM and 586 100Mhz.

I'm running Caldera Open Linux.

The questions are:

(i) Can I add a new disk of 23GB? What is the maximum amount of GB that I can 
    have in my Linux box?

(ii) Host Bus: Wide + Ultra SCSI: Enable mean that I have a
     Ultra Wide SCSI adapter.

(iii) How can i determine the amount of memory that Linux FileSystem
      have in memory(size of i-node table).

(iv) Can I evaluate the performance of disk i/o access? If I can do it,
     How can i do that?


Thanks in advances
