/dev/bread0
/dev/baloney0
/dev/bread1

Only if they're presented as LUNs ... /dev/baloney0, /dev/baloney1, etc.

I Wuz Wrong. I emailed the Backblaze guys, and they're actually
using a stock kernel and stock firmware. Here's the response:
"Regarding your questions below, we run the Debian backport of
2.6.26, use stock firmware from Silicon Image, and the back planes
we actually get from a company called CFY in Taiwan (not Silicon
Image.)
"We actually do plan to publish at least a few more blog posts with
more data & learnings about the pods. (Follow us on Twitter if you
want to be notified when we do...)
"Also, we've received so many requests to buy the storage pods in
the last 24 hours despite providing all the specs that we're
contemplating where to do this somehow. If people are interested in
possibly doing this, they can email salescontact@backblaze.com and
we'll keep them abreast of whether we'll do that."
I wonder if you could make a Lustre cluster of these guys, or if
there'd be problems with redundancy...

Oh, and they also thank a couple of
engineers at Silicon Image "who helped us debug SATA
protocol problems and loaned us 10 different SATA cards to
test against".
That's the kind of testing I'm talking about.
What's the chance they're running custom SATA drivers, what
with all that SATA protocol debugging? That's the kind
of thing that it's hard for a small studio (or even a large
one) to do. What's the chance that those drivers are
going to make it back into the mainstream kernel? (One
can only hope.)
