Joe : :------------------------------------------------------------------------------- :Joe Greco - Systems Administrator jgreco@ns.sol.net The scary thing about this posting is that Joe was able to construct his 1TB+ filesystem with *ONLY* 37 hard drives. The second scariest thing about this posting, which Joe didn't mention, is that his sole reason for creating this filesystem is to store his collection of Elvis movies! p.s. I think large filesystems are another reason why NFS (and other remote filesystems) is only going to become more important over time. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
