Recently we are discussing about a test that will be connecting to 32 iSCSI volumes, effectively creating a total of 33 (32 + 1 direct attached disk) harddisk references in Windows. In reviewing the current POSIX mapping, we realized from http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#id4676548 that Cygwin only maps up to /dev/sd1 <=> \device\harddisk11. Question 1: Is that the maximum number of \device\harddisk reference that Cygwin supports? Question 2: If not what is the the maximum? Question 3: Is there anyway within Cygwin that I can "mount" the other \device\harddisk references beyond the limitation? Thank you in advance for your help.
