Immaterial. A quick check of the bottom of ANY mailing list message
reveals this page: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
on which the first link is to, wonder of wonders, the Archives:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/
A search on "4k" reveals 1271 messages, "8k" 981. Those on this list
need NO reminders of the issue, as it has been discussed ad nauseum. If
you feel you need to vent your frustrations on the issue, perhaps a
coworker would be a better outlet, rather than a worldwide discussion list.

I, for one, see great folly in upgrading ANY datacenter to Fedora Core 2
at this point. The fact that you've chosen to do so shows that you
probably didn't do enough investigation into the matter.
Core 2 represents a VERY large diversion from recent RH/FC distros, in
large part because of the switch to kernel 2.6.x. This means different
driver architectures, a different device scheme, different memory
management, etc. I could see you upgrading to Core 1, as, at base, it's
not a whole lot different from the RH (9) that preceded it.
If you're looking for an easy distro to simplify your life and you don't
mind paying a bit, you might consider RedHat Enterprise 3. It's a
slower-moving target than FC and (as you seem to be concerned with)
excellent SCSI support. Any deployment of FC in a datacenter is going
to be far more of a homebrew process than deploying RHEL. If you're not
comfortable with that, then I highly suggest you look somewhere other
than FC for your Linux needs.
If you were merely trying to exhort Fedora developers on to higher and
grander causes, then you 1) failed the "positive message" test and 2)
sent your message to the wrong list.
