Bye the way, does it make sense to use this amount of data on a single server ? Why don't you look for GFS or Cluster file systems ?
Clustering has been ruled out for several reasons, one of them being that it's not really necessary. We're dealing with huge amounts of data but we don't need to have them distributed over the network or accessed simultaneously. The system in question is an external replicated backup storage. I'll take a look at JFS. Since all other filesystems on our servers are ReiserFS, and we haven't had a single problem ever since we switched to Reiser five years ago, we've splitted our 27TB array into two 15TB and 12TB partitions. It's a tempororary solution, but at least it works. We'd prefer to have one large 27TB partition but are not willing to take any chances. -Martin -- Rieke Computersysteme GmbH Hellerholz 5 D-82061 Neuried Email: martin@rhm.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help@opensuse.org
