It does exist, in a matter of speaking. I've been putting in Apple
XServe RAID arrays on linux machines and they have 2 fiber channel
ports going to two fiber channel arrays (in a single chassis). I
stripe them together using LVM and LVM support for a 3.5TB array (or
any other big array) only exists (or is only easy/feasible) in a 2.6
kernel.
I slap FC2 on and don't look back.
