Thank you Steffen and Ivan for your answers. Ivan Popov writes: > the biggest disk space servable by one server is still about 25G. I've heard about this problematic limit several months ago but since I was not able to find anything about that in the documentation, I thought this limit has just gone. I think it should appear somewhere in the FAQ. What does this limit depends on? Can I have more information about that? You can find 250GB hard disks at 350 EUR; this allow you to easily set up 1TB servers with 4 disks; the 25GB (0.025TB) Coda limitation might seem obsolete nowadays. At that time, I'm interested in distributed filesystems like Coda because I need to transparently provide a 320GB networked filesystem to 6 clients with two 160GB servers; I also need the ability to extend the filesystem size by adding servers, it should grow to 1TB soon. It would even be better if I was able to replicate each server for fault tolerance purpose but it's not mandatory. According to the limitation described by Ivan, this looks impossible with Coda. Is there a way to raise the limit by tuning block sizes or anything else? Is there a way to solve my problem with Coda? With something else? Regards, -- Cyril BouthorsReceived on 2003-08-31 08:46:58
