Are we likely to see patches to allow 16TB ext3 in the mainstream kernel any time soon? I am working with a storage box that has 16x750GB drives RAID5-ed together to create a potential 10.5TB of potential storage. But because ext3 is limited to 8TB I am forced to split into 2 smaller ext3 filesystems which is really cumbersome for my app...

...ch was pretty loaded with files and I am unsure exactly what was the size but I am almost sure it was larger the 65k files per directory. I was considering using GlusterFS for a very large storage system with NFS front. I am still unsure EXT4 should or shouldn't be able to handle more then 16TB since the linux kernel ext4 docs at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt in section 2.1 it states: * ability to use filesystems > 16TB (e2fsprogs support not available yet). so can I use it or not?? if there are no tools to handle this size then I cannot trust it. I...

...ttps://www.ultimateeditionoz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=26180 They used CentOS 5.7 (2.6.18-274 kernel) and they state "The stock configuration was used throughput the testing except for one component. The e2fsprogs package was upgraded to version 1.42, enabling ext4 file systems larger than 16TB to be created." I have looked for an "el6" version of "e2fsprogs 1.42" with no joy. Any ideas anyone? Cheers, Steve

...) ext3 filesystem. I am able to successfully create the partition using parted, but when I try to use mkfs.ext3, I get an error stating there is an 8TB limit for ext3 filesystems. I looked at the specs for 5 on the "upstream" vendor's website, and they indicate that there is a 16TB limit on ext3. Has anyone been able to create a ext3 filesystem larger than 8TB? If ext3 isn't an option, has anyone used the kmod-xfs-smp.i686 module mentioned on the centos site? Surely it doesn't have an 8TB limit... specs: Centos 5.1 kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 3Ware 9550SXU 12port...

...I dont know what to do next since I dont see any partitions listed. I dont know what do to for the start and end point, although the man page says "size in MB". Do I just say 0 to (and convert 16.0TB to MB? Yes, I know it says 17.6 TB but this model drobo can only support partitions up to 16tb without making a second partition. Can anyone provide some advice on that I am missing conceptually? Jason

Hi, I have a 24TB RAID6 disk with a GPT partition table on it. I need to partition it into 2 partitions one of 16TB and 1 of 8TB to put ext4 filesystems on both. But I really need to do this remotely. ( if I can get to the site I could use gparted ) Now fdisk doesn't understand GPT partition tables and pat

I need to setup a 3.27TB ext3 filesystem using -i 1024 and -b 1024. When I try to format this partition I get the "Filesystem too large." error. Are there any plans to update these limits? are there any patches already available that I can try out? Or am I just SOL here?

I just read the rhel6 filesystem size limit. http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/ It says 16TB limit for ext4 (same as ext3)?!?! I thought ext4 was supposed to support 1EB ( ~ 1 million TB) limit. That was one of the main advantages of rhel6. After a little more digging all I found was that the user space formatting tools (mkfs.ext4) only support 32bit filesystems (not 48bits). I'm surp...

Hello, I have a server with an 17tb scsi-storage. In past, the storage has a "jfs"-filesystem. Now i want to create a "ext4"-filesystem. I have update the e2fsprogs from 1.41 to 1.42 (16tb limit >1.41). Now I have an 17tb-storage as /dev/sda1 with ext4. I can mount this device as /home/ (/etc/fstab "/dev/sda1 /home/ ext4 defaults 1 2". Now I start a e2fschk /dev/sda1 (umounted). No error-messages are in the screen. If I now reboot the server, the server does...

so I've had a drbd replica running for a while of a 16TB raid thats used as a backuppc repository. when I have rebooted the backuppc server, the replica doesn't seem to auto-restart til I do it manually, and the backupc /data file system on this 16TB LUN doesn't seem to automount, either. I've rebooted this thing a few times in the 18 mo...

We're looking at getting an HBR (that's a technical term, honkin' big RAID). What I'm considering is, rather than chopping it up into 14TB or 16TB filesystems, of using xfs for really big filesystems. The question that's come up is: what's the state of xfs on CentOS6? I've seen a number of older threads seeing problems with it - has that mostly been resolved? How does it work if we have some *huge* files, and lots and lots of smal...

Centos 5.1 documentation states that the supported ext3 filesystem limit is 16TB, yet I have a 9.5TB partition that is claimed to be too large: mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) mke2fs: Filesystem too large. No more than 2**31-1 blocks (8TB using a blocksize of 4k) are currently supported. Am I missing something? > uname -a Linux fileserver.sharcnet.ca 2.6.18-53.1.6.e...

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=984236 kernel-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 Should it be possible to mkfs.btrfs on a virtual LV backed by LVM thinp? I can successfully create an XFS fs on the same virtual device. The virtual LV is 16TB in size, I haven''t tried anything smaller yet to see if that''s the problem. There is a dmesg attached to the bug report. Just because it works with mkfs.xfs doesn''t mean it''s sane. The end goal is testing glusterfs in two VMs, each with two bricks. One VM will u...

I have trouble finding definitive information about this. I am considering the use of SME 7.5.1 (centOS based) for my server needs, but I do want to use ZFS and I thus far I have only found information about the ZFS-Fuse implementation and unclear hints that there is another way. Phoronix reported that http://kqinfotech.com/ would release some form of ZFS for the kernel but I have found nothing.

Hello, I've been using rsync on some backup servers for years. In 2011 we had a situation where the FS of the backup server was behaving strange, even thou there was enough available I/O, the fs(ext4 on 16TB partition with a lot of inodes) was lagging. After much testing we found that rsync was hammering the fs too hard. At that point I patched rsync to add a stupid option which will sleep for a while before creating new file. That helped us a lot to keep the same rate of concurrent rsyncs to the sam...

hello i have 16tb storage. 8x2tb sata raided. i want to share it on network via nfs. which file system is better for it? thank you ??? Ashkan R

Before we start accessing a huge (> 16 TiB) OCFS2 volume, we need to confirm that its journal supports 64-bit offsets. So we need to check the journal's feature bits before recovering the journal. This is not possible with JBD2 at present, because the journal superblock (where the feature bits reside) is not loaded from disk until the journal is recovered. This patch loads the journal

Suppose I start building nodes with (say) 24 drives each in them. Would the standard/recommended approach be to make each drive its own filesystem, and export 24 separate bricks, server1:/data1 .. server1:/data24 ? Making a distributed replicated volume between this and another server would then have to list all 48 drives individually. At the other extreme, I could put all 24 drives into some

...-May-2006) mkfs.ext3: Filesystem too large. No more than 2**31-1 blocks (8TB using a blocksize of 4k) are currently supported. The limits information provided by red hat say, that RH EL 5.1 supports 16 TB filesystems: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/ -> Maximum filesystem size (Ext3): 16TB in 5.1 Using a block size of 8192 gives a warning, that this size is to large for that system. So my question: What is my missunderstanding or what's wrong with my system? Where are the real limits? Do I have to switch the OS to 64 Bit? Setting up large Filesystems isn't my staff of lif...

Are you planing on offering and storage ? I just build node 804 (54$ case) it supports 12 hard hard drives. I am using semptron 3825 quad core 25 watts. asrock itx motherboard 16gb of ram. so far i have 16tb. There are extended itx motherboard with 14 sata ports and xeon.support. I know there is distro that provides community edition of samba and openchange and it has nice web interface for managing users and etc. I use remote admin tools from microsoft to maintain samba
