No doubt that storage drive are already available to accommodate this size. But the reality of having a backup system to do the job for this big size in a limited window hours is a different story. Most of the time SAs has to design VGs and LVs sizes that can be vis-a-vis cope with the backup syste

I hope the features of jfs2 will be added to jfs. Its neat in increasing and decreasing the file system online, no need to unmount. And also storage support up to 32TB which at this is not practical to use because there is no available backup system for such huge amount of data :D On 7/2/07, Orlan

Let's also not forget about licensing and patent issues for zfs on linux: http://kerneltrap.org/node/8066 zfs on linux is way too alpha and zfs with fuse is practically useless, except to play with at the moment. fyi and a tad off topic: if you wanna play with zfs (other than using solaris

simple and quick answer: ZFS is battle-tested on Solaris. ditto for ext3 and JFS on Linux. i don't think any significant enterprise would risk their production data on such a Frankenstein :-P They would all go with the vendor-certified and -validated stand-alone filesystems, running on a suffici
