Just had a user that wants a volume greater then 8GB. We have always gone by the recommendation of 8GB maximum volumes. I do not particularly want to manage volumes larger then 8GB but need and official answer to give to this person. I searched the openafs-devel|info mail archives and did not see much info on this topic. Is the recommendation still 8GB for OpenAFS 1.4.1? Are there any notes on maximum volume and file sizes? Thanks for the info.
And to answer the original question - we now have a number of volumes which are pushing 100GB in actual usage. Other than the fact that they take a long time to move, copy, back up, etc, they work fine. After our backup system barfed on a 121GB volume, we have capped volumes at 100GB max quota. We're running 1.4.X.
My seat-of-the-pants analysis says the primary performance problem with these large volumes is all the old small-cache clients we have out there.
