The group I work in has been experimenting with GFS and Lustre, and I did some NBD/ENBD experimentation on my own, described at http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/nbd.html
My question is, what is the current status of huge filesystems - IE, filesystems that exceed 2 terabytes, and hopefully also exceeding 16 terabytes?
Am I correct in assuming that the usual linux buffer cache only goes to 16 terabytes?
Does the FUSE API (or similar) happen to allow surpassing either the 2T or 16T limits?
What about the "LBD" patches - what limits are involved there, and have they been rolled into a Linus kernel, or one or more vendor kernels?
Thanks!
