AFAIK there is no limitation there either. The only limitation is the size of the filesystem.

There is no such limitation on hardware raid as far as I know as well. You don''t want too many for performance issues, but if the raid hardware supports it, I don''t see why not. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces@caosity.org [mailto:centos-bounces@caosity.org] On Behalf Of Imran Sent: 16 March 2005 23:56 To: ''CentOS discussion and information list'' Subject: RE: [Centos] Re: What''s the biggest software raid partition?

Strange I will check the raid config again. However it may be better to split the array anyway.
