Daniel,

To clear up a misconception about MTB UFS. The maximum density of inodes that can be in a MTB UFS filesystem is 1 inode per megabyte of space. This does not mean that a megabyte of space is used for every file. It simply means you cannot have more than a million or so files per terabyte of storage.

The reason for this is simple, it could take days or weeks to fsck the filesystem.

ZFS is a 128 bit filesystem, isn't it?


Depends on whether it's large file aware or not, I'd say.

(the ino field in stat64 is 64 bits)


So to fully utilize a ZFS file system the average file size has to be 16 EB? People are already moaning today that on MT-UFS the average file size has to be 1 MB...

I hope it is just an interface limitation and that ZFS's internals don't impose such a limit.
