those are not real 10TB device. it is a virtual one. i personally can
only afford several disks, half TB to hold my movies. :P

probably will have journal fs or even raw structure.
and my sole purpose is to test the code limitation. i personally have no
such need in near future.

i can understand this. i have similar experience in the project i
maintained. too many things can do while too little time.

i can see this.

my friends and i are working on an iscsi implementation, so we have
interest to support all type of scsi devices while main focus is disk
type, tape type and media changer type.
if u have time to kill, that is better. if not, it is fine. i can work
on it when i need such support.
i will attach some captures on http://wiki.ethereal.com/SampleCaptures
thanks.
