Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org 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.
