I have created the following table in scsi_hi.c and recompiled the kernel:

/* start        length  drive           interleave */
  {0,           300256, &drive_tbl[DEFAULT], 1},        /* /dev/hd0 */
  {0,           256,    &drive_tbl[DEFAULT], 1},        /* /dev/hd1 */
  {256,         10000,  &drive_tbl[DEFAULT], 1},        /* /dev/hd2 */
  {10256,       90000,  &drive_tbl[DEFAULT], 1},        /* /dev/hd3 */
  {100256,      100000, &drive_tbl[DEFAULT], 1},        /* /dev/hd4 */
  {200256,      100000, &drive_tbl[DEFAULT], 1},        /* /dev/hd5 */
# endif


mkfs works, df says:
# df /dev/hd4
/dev/hd4    i-nodes:     1 used 33340 free      blocks:     2 used 34462 free

I'd think it should say 100000?

When I mount the file system I get:

File system Panic: Too many map blocks

2 questions: 

1) What else do I need to change to make these sizes work?

2) What else do I need to change to tell the system I have 2 or more disks?
(I'm trying to write to 3 Miniscribe 9380Ss - anyone already have
the kernel configed for that?)

thanks!
