This is a trivial task if you have a few key tools.
One (1) management/virtualization box/head.
Six (6) 5TB iscsi targets.
Why six, because RAID is nice and all hardware fails regardless.
In the first box, you need to import all six targets for raw storage.
Using a robust raid/scsi stack to glue all the segments togather
should yield a raw 30TB base under RAID 0, or 25TB base under RAID 5.
Now to provision the bucket of storage.
I am sure this is boring and trivial, so I will stop.
Whom ever you are feel free to email me offline if more details are
desired or skip it and read the next message.
I would like to update you.
As one of the few voting members on the NCITS Standards body, there is no information in the ATA/ATAPI Documents to cover this issue.

Just remember that I am the industry insider representing Linux and you have none. Be grateful that I have not pushed the issue of FreeBSD using my work. You should also be grateful that I will still push for OPEN SPEC's regardless that the folks in your camp publically trash w/ joy the work I do for the greater OpenSource Community. Only because Soren is a nice guy as is Mike Smith, do I find it not necessary to have a child-bashing rant like Mr. Nik.
I am more bothered being dragged into by association than anything else.
I did nothing so I have nothing to be sorry about; however, I have now put forward a solution to remove the problem and will make it very pointed when the Legal IP I have requested form Promise shows up in FreeBSD.
Since you have no knowledge of the whole issues at hand, I should expect mistakes of this nature on your behalf.
You know that if you really had a point you would have addressed me directly. I can only think of one person in the world that could have made such a comment, but he was man enough to challenge me face to face. Therefore you have no basis for putting out this type of misinformation.
You have stated,"I don't harbor any resentment against the guy", obviously just been waiting to stab me in the back.
Maybe if you had asked me, you would have known that I had nothing to do with this project yet.
You have a point, but I want to make the other point about where all the information is generated. I will lighten up later, but I want to prove the point of eating crow when one carelessly drags private issues public.
Congrats Nik,
Nice job on hurting FreeBSD. We will see where the so called IP borrowing leads to in the near future. Specifically things like 48-bit LBA, MMIO VirtualDMA under taskfile rules, Mt Rainier GAA decoding and DeIcing, and the new Ultra133.
The real kicker will be when I publish the correct and legal headers w/ Linux ATA Development and Promise Copyrights and GPL and require that usage of the information carry the copyrights and terms of usage. This will also include a set of headers for HighPoint, and Silicon Image (formerly CMD).
Since I know for a fact that FreeBSD can not do CMD RAID, nor has it heard about it.
I am only here to validate your child-like response, as a future reference point to enjoy you choking down the crow you are spreading.
I have no issues with Soren (mispelled sorry), but your mistakes will have a price. I hope you feel really good about yourself, because you are a big man. Only because you wanted to thumb us, the Linux Community, in the eye, is the reason you thought it would be useful to paint the world a bloody gaping pie-hole.
I really hope you enjoy your time of glory and fame, because you have failed to address my request to clear my name from the issues. A price that would have been cheap pay earlier but, not affordable now.
For now it is time to take FreeBSD and all the other variations of BSD to school, watch learn
and I will require that my work and my IP be acknowledged in all of these from now on out. I understand that this may prevent you from ever having support and access to some really cool stuff coming down the pipes, because of the License you will be require to acknowledge where and who you are borrowing IP.
Please have a good day.

Arjan,
It is a NOP. Delete the headers and I will generate the correct "Legal" ones that are derived from the true owners of the IP, Promise Technologies.
