And using the 64-bit XFS will also better[1] than the standard 32-bit XFS. Or the hybrid 32-bit XFS using 64-bit layout rules. (Damn, I only left SGI at the end of 2008 and I've already forgotten all the stuff I used to know about the inner machinations of XFS!! (I wasn't an XFS developer, I started on CXFS and ended up in QA for the NAS/CXFS/XFS stuff)) And, in re ZFS, there is no "posix_fallocate" equivalent in S10 (that I can find). There may be one in OpenSolaris, but I dunno. Cheers, Gary B-) 1 - Oh, so, so, so much better than the pathetically choked whimpering little rodent that is 32-bit XFS. Switching to the 64-bit layout as the default was prevented because the Linux "stat" system call could not safely handle 64-bit inodes.
