(good and not so > good points) We've got a 110 TB xfs system in production based on a logical volume striped over 9 boxes of SATA disk, works like a charm with great throughput as we stripe over 3 controllers :-) Only whoopsie in 18+ months was when we recently added 3 more disk boxes and I grew the filesystem. First attempt xfs_grow only added a fraction of the available space. Second attempt gave a kernel panic. Reboot and everything was fine with all space available. Lesson learned: don't use xfs_grow unless you're in the general vicinity of the server ;-) regards, Bent
