In 1.4.7 it was 2tb. In 1.4.8 it will be another 32 powers of 2 larger, a number I am too lazy to calculate.

Note that in Solaris 10 if you update too far you will eventually take a UFS change which breaks the OpenAFS inode fileserver, and by default Solaris 10 builds starting in 1.4.8 will give you a namei fileserver for that reason. For performance reasons you probably want ZFS-backed namei partitions, especially if you are setting up large partitions. _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
