I believe there are a lot of experienced AFS
administrators on this list, and hope to get
answers/advice to some of the following questions.
(1) How big can an AFS cell be realistically set up,
in terms of number of AFS accounts, disk capacity
available and used?
(2) How big are the bigger AFS cells today?
(2) What are the hard limits?
(3) What are the potential pitfalls in setting up a
big AFS cell? Does the AFS backup database
performance scale with a large number of AFS volumes?
(4) What kind of ratio do you have on users/server?
(5) Does anyone have an experience using NetApp filers
for a large user population (>30K users or even >100K
users, for example)? How would managing a large
number of NetApp filers compare with managing a large
number of AFS servers? How many users does NetApp
support per filer in reality?
Thanks in advance for your response to any of the
above questions.
