Re: recommended volume size

2008-05-21 Thread Terry

In thinking further about this, the application pool could scale up to
40 TB.  Is a 40 TB volume out of reality?

 Hello,

 I am going to be connecting to an equallogic san using RHEL5 x86_64
 and serving up NFS volumes.   I don't have any requirement as to the
 size on the application side.   I am thinking 4TB volumes but anyone
 have any advice in this area?   The data will be a lot of small files
 mostly so I'll be sticking to a 4k block size with ext3.

 Thanks!

Check RHEL releasenotes or other information for supported volume/filesystem
max sizes. 

I think RHEL5 with ext3 supports max 16 TB filesystems.

Also note that you can't use normal partition tables because they're limited
to 2 TB. So you have to use LVM on raw volumes/luns or then GPT partition
tables.
