One quick correction re:
Maximum number of logical volumes, or partitions
Max number of *physical* volumes is 23. I consider qtrees to be *logical* volumes or partitions and if you make each qtree a share then you can have a max of 14,400 on a F740.
The maximum number of qtrees is 254 (per volume I think). The maximum number of CIFS shares is 14,400 per F740.

Yes -- that's exactly right. It's 254 (off-by-one error on my part), and it's per volume.
This value is the natural result of using a 16-bit q-tree ID in each inode.

Don't count your bits before they're hatched, Dave. :-)
Presumably you meant "8-bit q-tree ID in each inode":
uchar tid; /* Tree id (for tree quotas). */

I was just taunting Val...

Unfortunately, most of the audience probably won't get that. To save Val further humiliation, I won't explain it.... :-)
Guy - I am eternally (I think that's about 4 billion years and change...) grateful for your discretion <g>...
