If Joe wants an easy, supported option, it's SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server. I've got SLES10 on my laptop, and it includes xfs.
He just has to change vendor;-)
What I would do is try going with ext3. He may have to use LVM if
he
wants 1 big slice, but I don't see any other serious disadvantages.
This way he can stick with the latest RHEL and not have to use less
optimal linux distributions for enterprise use.
If you read the beginning of the thread, you'd understand that ext3
doesn't do it without some dreadful hackery.
the problem is that ext3 filesystems are limited to 2**32 blocks,
and OP
has more disk space than that. Lots more.
cant LVM be used to make several large ext3 partitions look as one?
Uh, no.
You give a partition a filesystem *after* the LVM layer, so you can
LVM lots of 8GB partitions into a bigger LVM volume and logical disk
but you still need to give it a filesystem, which won't be ext3. I
think you need to do a bit of reading ;o)
