No major roadblocks were pointed out, however the following points were
brought up -

- Make sure the 'largefiles' option is set when you mount the metadevice
- Turn on UFS logging to avoid interminably long fsck after a crash
- 7 disks = 7 points of failure in the metadevice
- Specify the '-m1' option on newfs when creating the file system to
reduce the root-only region - this is significant on a large file
system like this
- Some people suggested striping vs concatenation - problems is all
these slices have radically different sizes.

Thanks again to those who replied!

Howdy,

I'm planning on creating a 300gb. concatenation metadevice of 7 very
large disk slices under Solaris 7 using Disksuite 4.2 Any issues I
should be aware of? Apart from an ungodly long newfs

Thanks

Scotty
