Hello,
There is a need for a customer application to create about 350,000
files per day, which adds up to 109 million files per year. Avg size
per file is 10 KB, this results to about 1.1 TB disk space. This is
being designed to run on Solaris 8.
Here is what I need to find out :
What are the limits on #of files in a single directory and limits on
space on Solaris 8.
Since the number of files that can be created depends on the number of
inodes, What is the max inode limit for Solaris 8?
I searched through the docs and here is what I've found:
to increase the number of inodes, I need to create a new filesystem
and to have all
inodes allocated to that filesystem. For example, in this case, there
is a filesystem of size 140GB so the nbpi is
140000000/109000000=1.28bytes
Is this correct? Please advise.
Thanks,
Ramin Moazeni
