Hi,
one of the OpenAFS developers told me a while back that the max size
for a /vicep partition in 2TB. This seems to be not correct.
Ok, but:
We have a Solaris 10/x86 Sun "Thumper" unit with ZFS partitions:
/vicepa 750GB
/vicepb 1.5TB
Once an OpenAFS-1.5.14 namei fileserver starts, we get:
% vos partinfo thumper01
Free space on partition /vicepa: 786431928 K blocks out of total
786432000
Free space on partition /vicepb: -536870962 K blocks out of total
-536870912
Is this on overflow only in the reporting or is this really not
working?
That's a reporting error. One site who may not wish to speak up has
a *volume* larger than that.
It'll work, but if you do a vos move of a volume to that partition,
it'll complain about it not fitting ;)
To get around this, I hacked vos on my site to treat any negative
partition size as "big enough". However, something should be looked
at in the vol RPCs and such to make sure the data types are sized to
handle modern file systems.
