Re: [Moosefs-users] max filesystem size?

[Michał B. <mic...@ge...>]

Hi!

 

Generally speaking there is no limit - if you have enough RAM in the master
server to handle the metadata. There are some installations of one petabyte
in size (see http://www.moosefs.org/who-is-using-moosefs.html). Of course,
if you have many files (hundreds of millions) and lots of file operations
per second the system will hung up (take into consideration also disk speeds
and network performance).

 

 

Kind regards

Subject: [Moosefs-users] max filesystem size?

 

Hi, 

I've looked around some and I see moosefs has a max filesize of about 2TB.
But, I am unable to find what the max file system size is. Can someone
please tell me?

thanks, 
Brian
