Hello Sir, As per your suggestions I installed the Coda Installers provided by Aetey softwares. But then I was hit by the concept called "Realm". I want to have more information about Realms. What is a Realm? How do I configurations for Realms? How are Realm helpful? Actually I tried searching the mailing list for realms but could not find any proper documentation on Realms. It would be really nice if you can solve my doubts. The thing is I wish to create a large storage server for storing my terabytes worth of data on cheap systems with around 200GB hdd. I was successfully able to this using coda 5.3.20, by creating volumes for each storage server and then mounting each data server on coda client as a separate volume. This provided me the scalability. But with the inherent bugs in the older version; coda is creating problems. Hence I went for the new coda installer. But now I don't know how realms are going to help me in this and how should I configure the realm so that it supports my idea of a scalable storage server. I 2 more doubts: 1) I was using rvmsizer.c for checking the RVM size on my server. Now the thing is rvmsizer shows 2 different RVM size; one based on object count and one on 4% rule. Which one is correct? 2) Suppose if my disk space gets full with my RVM still somewhat free. How will Coda respond to that. Also if my RVM gets full but my disk space still has some space free. How will it respond in this situation? with regards, dhiraj chawlaReceived on 2008-05-10 03:29:41
