From 20a8143eaa3300a58326156eaf43e03db0fd2cb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Clements Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:21:51 -0800 Subject: NBD: remove limit on max number of nbd devices Remove the arbitrary 128 device limit for NBD. nbds_max can now be set to any number. In certain scenarios where devices are used sparsely we have run into the 128 device limit.
