Dear Ray: I am happy to report that Backuppc is happy over here with a very large drive: I have a 22TB RAID 6 going (a lot of overkill) and it's 31% full. Backuppc reports the pool would be 66.64 T if not for pooling and has reduced that to 8 TB. I'm a happy camper.
I'm using an SAS backplane with (8) 4 TB SATA drives in RAID 6. Hope this helps, Bob On Tue, 2017-07-18 at 16:29 -0600, Ray Frush wrote: > Our BackupPC 4.1.3 pool hit >80% utilization, and I'm contemplating > extending it past 4TiB as we continue to add systems to our backups. > Pool is 3237.37GiB comprising 12776990 files and 16512 directories > (as of 7/18 01:44), > In a previous $JOB, I never had a pool get much larger than about > 2.5TiB, so I'm not entirely certain what the limits of BackupPC are. > > Are there reliable reports available of people who have a BackupPC > file system >4TiB?
