I wasn't thinking quite that big. I'm thinking 3 or 4 drive home NAS
type systems, which people do like to make use of suspend on to save
power.
As for not spinning up drives during boot, the problem with that seems
to be that some drives ( possibly most? ) won't return correct
IDENTIFY information until they have been spun up.
For systems *that* large, I'd say what they could use is for the
enumeration to be somewhere in between one at a time, and all at once.
The power supply on such a beast should be able to handle starting up
say, 4-8 drives at once, so that would cut down on the startup time
considerably.
On the other hand, as long as the drives holding the root filesystem
are the first to spin up, the system should boot up quickly while the
other drives come up in the background.
