[SunHELP] disksuite limitations ?

[Tom Jones]

You need to modify /kernel/drv/md.conf, changing the maximum number of metadevices
from the default of 128 to the number you need and reboot -r.  Been there, done that... I 
ran into the same problem, changed the number to 200, rebooted and all was well
again.

Here the md.conf file from my system:
name="md" parent="pseudo" nmd=200 md_nsets=4;

Don't forget the reconfig reboot to create the new devices....
