-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are just about to start on the upgrade of our Linux file server. When we are done, it will have:
- -Approx 100GB SCSI RAID (approx 40% capacity utilised) - -Approx 45GB IDE RAID (approx 60% utilised) - -Approx 45GB IDE dumping disk - -6*20GB(40GB with hardware compression claimed) HP autoloader - -Additional servers totalling approx 100GB, no disk greater than approx 30GB - -Workstations, none with more than 5GB of data to back up. I would like to know what limitations this setup will place on our partitioning of the 100GB SCSI RAID. We are planning on using XFS over LVM (if possible), but I would like to try and get the partitioning correct the first time (since I now have spare unpartitioned space to juggle data on). Apparently Amanda can not span tapes, and it seems the first dump needs to be of the full filesystem. Does this mean, in my case, that no partition should contain more than 30GB (all I can reliably get onto a tape using hardware compression) of data?
