Did you consider/try ZFS on Debian-kFreeBSD instead of OpenSolaris to
try and make things less painful?

If you tell us what your environment is we can answer the question.

Don't create very large filesystems.
Use LVM.

Hi all,
I recently purchased a PE610 with a PERC6 card attached to an MD1000
with about 26TB of space. I know from my own research that ext4
supports up to an exabyte, however it appears that the e2fs team has not
You can always build the latest e2fsprogs yourself. They have
the 16TB fixes in them but haven't gotten alot of testing so
be careful (test it out first). I've heard it's mostly the resizing
piece of ext4 that hasn't been exercised much but you can
ask the ext4 mailing list.

In what scenarios did you experience poor performance with XFS? In our
environment, running a farm of massive file servers, XFS has always
outperformed ext3 by a large margin. Even the performance comparisons of
ext4 that I've seen mostly conclude it was about the same level as XFS

though, it could be a different issue I'm encountering.

Really? I guess it depends on what you're trying to do as always. One

Hi all,
I recently purchased a PE610 with a PERC6 card attached to an MD1000
with about 26TB of space. I know from my own research that ext4
supports up to an exabyte, however it appears that the e2fs team has not
yet created a mkfs.ext4 that supports anything bigger than 16TB.
