I did some testing a long time ago (when working on the 2.4 64bit kernel) by creating holey loopback files that very large and creating file systems on it. That allows to simulate very large volumes, but of course not fill them. Back then JFS and XFS were the only ones even in running, the others didn't work at all for various reasons. I don't remember the exact sizes I tested, but iirc it was > 100TB. That was simple a mkfs + mount + create some small files test. It already needs JFS or XFS to just contain the holey backing file. -Andi -- [email protected] -- Speaking for myself only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jfs-discussion
