If you plan to implement Symmetrix, CLARiiON, iSCSI, or any other tech 
that could make use of LUN greater than 255; be aware that Linux won't 
recognize a LUN higher than 255 (but AIX, HPUX, and Windows do). Be sure 
you don't go out and buy a ton of DL585's, DL380's, Dell 1955's, HP 
BL45p's, and stacks of QLogic and Emulex cards and hope it works cuz' it 
don't...
