<div dir="ltr"><div>ext4 has some nasty bugs that block use of filesystems larger than 40-something TB. Ext4 SUPPORTS massively larger filesystems that 40TB but due to an implementation bug (that isn't getting fixed for some reason) it's stuck. I recently setup a 56TB drive array and XFS was perfectly happy. EXT4 just choked. Tested with a Fedora 18 and a rawhide just to see WTF and yep, even Debian has the issue. <br>
<br></div>So XFS will handle exabytes. So will ext4 eventually.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 19, 2013 at 4:13 PM, Beddingfield, Allen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:allen@ua.edu" target="_blank">allen@ua.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>
