At the time, I had a long discussion about it on nahant-list (see the embarrassingly titled thread that starts here <https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2005-October/msg00271.html>) with no resolution. And I brought it up again on the ext3 list in April. > At the very least, you would find out if ext3 in the upcoming CentOS 5 > might be likely to handle this better. The other issue with ext3 that will soon bite me is the 8TB limitation. It's pretty easy to get above that these days. It's good to see that the RHEL5 beta ups that to 16TB, but I can't say I'm not worried about running ext3 on something that big. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
