Hi, I'm wondering what is a reasonable size for large AFS volumes. I understand that the maximum size of a volume is about 2 TB (assuming that the partition is at least that size). From a practical standpoint, is it reasonable to have a 2 TB volume? Should I expect any problems doing operations like bos salvage or vos move on large volumes?
For example, I'm wondering if bos salvage has a "harder" time with a few large volumes than with several smaller volumes. I figure that, with smaller volumes, internal inconsistencies that bos salvage fixes would be more isolated than with large volumes, and that that would be beneficial. But I don't really know. Currently we mount 25 GB volumes in users' home directories for their image data, which grows a lot during data processing. Some users are starting to feel limited by 25 GB volumes, so I'm considering going to 100 GB volumes. I would appreciate any advice. Should large volumes be salvaged more often than small volumes? We're running openafs 1.4.11 on centos 5.3. Thanks, Dave ============================================================== David P.
