Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2005 12:51:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1106250687.3413.6.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
I recently saw Alan Cox say on this list that LVM won't handle more than
2 terabytes. Is this LVM2 or LVM? What is the maximum amount of disk
space LVM2 (or any other RAID/MIRROR capable technology that is in
Linus's kernel) handle? I am talking with various people and we are
looking at Samba on Linux to do several different namespaces (obviously
one tree), most averaging about 3 terabytes, but one would have in
excess of 20 terabytes. We are looking at using 320 to 500 gigabyte
drives in these arrays. (How? IEEE-1394. Which brings a question I will
ask in a second email.)
Is RAID 5 all that bad using this software method? Is RAID 5 available?
