I looked around for documentation, but could not find answers to the
following questions. May be you can help me? I am using 2.0.35 in a new
Debian release.
1. I have a machine with 18 SCSI hard drives. The boot process finds
them, but I cannot use them beyond sdp (which is documented), i.e.,
when it runs out of the 16 disks times 16 paritions minor numbers. Is
there some workaround for me to see all disks?

2. The documentation I found gives no indication to file size limits,
but it seems that I can only create files up to 2GB. Is that so, or am
I doing something wrong?
Would appreciate your help!
