Hi, Is there an official limit on RVM log and metadata file sizes? I set my log size to 2GB in order to be able to handle files up to 2GB. Ideally, I wanted to be able to handle a FS up to 0.5TB, so I wanted to make a metadata file of about 16GB. The biggest I've managed to get to work is 4GB, otherwise things fail with an error. Does this sound about right? I am using a file, rather than a partition. Am I correct in guessing that mmapping the file only maps it into virtual memory without actually requiring that much RAM+swap in the system (unlike when using a partition)? On a related note, are any of these limits (file/log/metadata) architecture dependant? If so are there any issues with having an x86-64 and an IA32 node in the same replicated cluster? Thanks.
