    SubjectRe: Urgent, Please respond - Re: max_scsi_luns and 2.4.19-pre10.
    I'm no expert on this bit but look in
    drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c for CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN

    #ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN
    static int max_scsi_luns = 8;
    #else
    static int max_scsi_luns = 1;
    #endif

    This is the variable you seem to want.

    Note to SCSI maintainers. a quick vi `grep -l CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN`
    here reveals lots of hardcoded values of 8. It seems to me
    that perhaps a CONFIG_SCSI_MAX_LUN to replace
    CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN would be in order.

    I know Alan and others are planning to do major cleanup of
    the scsi subsystem (hopefully after IDE stablizes?)
