Peter,
I would be forever in you debt if you could patch 2.4.19 I can test
up to 2.5TB immediately using SGI's XFS. This would actually be two
hardware RAID 0 arrays of 1260GB each software raid'ed together. Our test
platform today is i386 but we hope to move to IA64 if the testing shows
promise. If this works I hope to be able to test a 7.6TB i386 NAS box
within a few weeks.
I'll be sure to share results with the list.
Regards,
Thomas

I'm working on a backport to 2.4; also I haven't recently updated the
2.5 IA64 port --- if you want it I can do it today and test tomorrow.
Which kernel are you interested in?

You are lost in a maze of BitKeeper repositories, all almost the same.
