My apologies! I accidentally sent the message below before I was finished. I'm still running the XFS test and will finish the note when it's done. On 10/16/2013 10:09 AM, Lew Wolfgang wrote:

Hi Folks,

I finally have a chance to work on my previously reported issue with btrfs where I can't write more than about 15-TB to a single partition.

Here's the machine:

Supermicro X9DRH mobo 2-ea Xeon E5-2643 64-GB RAM 1-ea LSI MegaRAID SAS 2208 RAID controller 2-ea SSD 120-GB drives configured as RAID-1 mirror 24-ea 2-TB SATA drives configured as two 11-disk RAID-6 arrays with 2-hotswaps

So I loaded 13.1 beta1 and pulled a "zipper dup". Here are my initial observations.

1. No more reiserfs! 2. The installer complains about using XFS on the boot partition 3. The installer complains if the boot partition is less than 12-MB (good!)

But the installer won't let the install proceed past the final summary screen if I have multiple system partitions. It complains that there isn't enough room for the selected packages (default). There is room, but it complains nevertheless. Here's the error:

"Not enough disk space. Remove some packages in the Single Selection"

The screen said that 3.2-GB was required, but there was more than 50-GB available.

I got around the error by just having one swap and one root partition. Configure the root partition and one of the data arrays with btrfs. The second data array was formatted as XFS.
