[linux-lvm] Logical volume > 2TB question

[Felix Chu]

I am using IETD, linux-iscsi initiator.

By "lvdisplay" , it shows that LV 3TB was created successfully. Is that mean
the LVM can support 3TB?

By the way, what is the mean of "max cdb len" ? also what is the meaning of
"12"? Which file I should change if I use "linux-iscsi" initiator?

Thanks.

for linux, which iscsi initiator u use? check the source code and change
the max cdb len to 16 instead of 12, which is default.
