All filesystem limits are a result of base-2 issues. > Does this limit apply to the raw device size or formatted Lustre OST > size? Using RHEL5U1, we have created an OST on a 9.001 TB raw device > with a formatted size reported from lustre_config of 8584023MB. Is this > OST OK to use, or would we have receive an error message if it was not OK? For RHEL5 it is possible that a 9TB filesystem will work (I believe a fix for this went into 1.6.6). We just haven't finished our testing on it yet. There is no chance that a >= 8TiB filesystem would work with SLES10 currently.
