i believe if you were to attach a drive large than 73gb, mpe would
simply ignore the space beyond that limit.  i'm reasonably certain
that's how mpe behaves if you're on an older version of the os and you
replace ldev 1 with something larger than a 4gb disc drive -- the extra
space is ignored.

if it were me and this were a production box....i would try for
anything beyond 73gb.  it might be considered a 'career-threatening'
move.

you should also give some consideration to the performance impact of
trying to configure large luns in general.  t-boxes (99x) have a pretty
limited back plane.  maybe chuck can address this issue better....   - d
