Hi, Are there any recommendations about how much memory I need based on the size of the file system and/or amount of files? For example: how much memory would be optimal for a 20TB file system with 3000000 files?/me shrugsquoted
I guess it depends on the usage pattern?Totally.
Allow me to drag the OP's question under a different light... I have a 20TB XFS filesystem with 3000000 files. What is the minimum amount of system RAM I will need to run an xfs_check or xfs_repair or xfs_[tool] on this filesystem, assuming Linux has been put into a low overhead state, and said tool[s] has access to the bulk of the system memory? Is there a formula available so any XFS user can calculate this xfs_[tools] RAM requirement, given FS size X and file count Y? -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
