[FUG-BR] Alguem ai usando ataraid de mais de 120G????

[João Carlos Mendes Luís]

Eu tava tendo problemas sérios com um disco de 250G numa controladora
promise, e acabei chegando a isto aqui, que me parece um bug.  Só para
ter certeza, alguém ai está usando ataraid (promise ou nao) com discos
de mais de 120G?  Não basta ser um array de mais de 120G, cada disco
individual tem que ter mais de 120G.

Se eu estiver certo, espero que corrijam antes do 5.4.  Estou tendo
problemas com isso desde o 5.2.
