I have a large ATA RAID array (Nexsan ATAboy2f) attached to my backup
server (SunFire V880 running Solaris 8). For various reasons, I'd like
to be able to present the entire array (about 3TB) as a single filesystem.
According to Sun, all versions of Solaris are limited to 1TB in a single
filesystem. There is a patch for Solaris 9, however (114129-01 and others)
which seem to bypass this limitation:
(From the Free Patch Description of 114129-01)
NOTE: To get the complete Multi-terabyte feature, please install the following
patches:
113277-06 (or newer) sd & ssd patch
114127-01 (or newer) abi_libefi.so.1 patch
114128-01 (or newer) sd_lun patch
114131-01 (or newer) libadm.so.1 patch
113981-02 (or newer) devfsadm patch
114132-01 (or newer) fmthard patch
113072-03 (or newer) format patch
114369-01 (or newer) prtvtoc patch
113049-01 (or newer) luxadm & liba5k.so.2 Patch
Does anyone have experience with this patch set, or with very large
filesystems in general?
I've looked at vxfs, but I must explore lower-cost options before a purchase
will be approved.
Thanks, and I'll summarize,
--Joe
