John Plevyak commented on TS-773: --------------------------------- Unfortunately, the hosting code is pretty complicated and poorly written. I have tried to patch it, but it really should have a more comprehensive audit. If this patch fixes the immediate problem (which it seems to have, but I'd like independent confirmation) we can put off the audit till after 3.0. So I don't foresee more changes if we get the fix verified.... but I wouldn't be surprised if there was still a problem under some circumstances... until a full audit. > Traffic server has a hard limit of 512 gigabytes per RAW disk partition > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TS-773 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-773 > Project: Traffic Server > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Cache > Affects Versions: 2.1.8 > Environment: Debian Lenny 5.0.8 2.6.34.7 x86_64 > 12 1.5TB harddrives for cache disks. > Reporter: David Robinson > Assignee: John Plevyak > Fix For: 2.1.9 > > > Using 1.5TB harddrives as cache disks results in ATS only using 512GBs of the > disk.
