Hello: We trying to configure one machine (Compaq Proliant ML760) with 8 disks (72GB each disk) with RAID. We are thinking to use ext3 and LVM in RedHat 7.2 for manage one filesystem with 500GB. This filesystems have to store near off 5.000.000 of files. Is this possible? Could I resize the filesystems/volume to 1TB? what are the ext3 and LVM limits? someone have tested sismilar environment? I appreciate your support! Regards & Thank you, -Adriano -- Adriano M. Galano Diez http://www.satec.es Phone: (+34) 917 089 000 CPhone: (+34) 600 990 798

Both ext3 and LVM are known to support at least 1TB filesystems. It may or may not be possible to have a 2TB filesystem, depending on LVM version, device drivers, etc. Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger http://www-mddsp.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/adilger/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2resize/
