This is an evolution of a Perl script that I originally wrote for this
bug:

# From painful experience we know that changes to the kernel can
# suddenly change the maximum number of disks we can add to the
# appliance. This script uses a simple binary search to find the
# current maximum.
#
# To test different kernels you may want to do:
# rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs-*
# export SUPERMIN_KERNEL=/boot/vmlinuz-...
# export SUPERMIN_MODULES=/lib/modules/...
# ./max-disks.pl
