Since it is my first install, somebody with experience whom I can ask for help would be great, however I am aware that this is probably too much to ask for, and I will be glad for every piece of information I can get on the subject.

What limits does ZFS have? --- The limitations of ZFS are designed to be so large that they will never be encountered in any practical operation. ZFS can store 16 Exabytes in each storage pool, file system, file, or file attribute. ZFS can store billions of names: files or directories in a directory, file systems in a file system, or snapshots of a file system. ZFS can store trillions of items: files in a file system, file systems, volumes, or snapshots in a pool. I'm not sure why ZFS hasn't yet been ported to OpenBSD, but if it were then that would pretty much eliminate the need for my one and only FreeBSD box ;-) On Feb 19, 2013, at 2:35 AM, Keith ke...@scott-land.net wrote: Q. How do I make the default web folder /var/www/ capable of holding millions of files (say 50GB worth of small 2kb-12kb files) so that I won't get inode issues ? The problem is that my server has the default disk layout as I didn't expect to have millions of files (I though they would be stored in the DB). When I started the app it generated all the files and I got out of space warnings. I tried moving the folder containing the files and making a symlink back but that didn't work because nginx is in a chroot. The two option I think I have are. 1. Reinstall the OS and make a dedicated /var/www partition but how I increase the inode limit I have no idea. 2. Make a new partition, format it, copy the files from the original partition and swap them around and restart nginx. ( Do i run newfs with some option to make more inodes ?)

There is a fundamental underlying problem with this. The OpenBSD code is free. That is one of the principles of the project (as far as I can guess. I'm not involved personaly, so its only my opinion). The price charged for the CD is the cost of the media + the costs of producing and marketing it + overheads of the company which produces it. The contents are free. If you subtract the media, then what is there left to sell? Just order as many as you want and bin the excess.
