Seeking Guardian OS Limits

As the topic reads.

We are seeing more and more Guardian OS units come through this forum. I am seeking data on the upgradeability of the GUARDIAN OS.

We have run into limits that I suspect is SnapOS limits, 1T. Will not debate weather it is hardware or software based. Mute point it is a limit.

The 4400 were only made with 480-720 gig. 160w PS, 1-1.26 P3 w/512meg ram, 2 1gb lan ports, Ultra160 SCSI on 720 model for backup.

Is this a Hardware LIMIT or just the maximum size hard drive that was installed due to cost and size when these were built?

The 4200 has a std lower capacity of 320-640gig, hot swapable. 2.4ghz Celeron w/256meg DDR (3 slots expandable to 3 GB), 250w PS, 2 1gb lan ports, opt Ulta2 SCSI, iSCSI support.

The 4500 has 1-1.6T, iSCSI, 2.4-3.0ghz P4, 3 ddr slots 512m-3gb, hot swappable, 2-1gb lan ports, 250w PS, Ulta2 SCSI, expandable with ext storage arrays

NOTE: All of these units seam to be limited in size by the Largest drive produced when it was design.

Are we seeing the limit of a 4 disk Array?

Or is this a limit of OS, Snap OS = 1T, Guardian OS 13.6T (4500 w/exp) ?

Does anyone know what Linux Kernel this OS was built on?

Open for facts gathering
