As we've added more and more clients, our /nsr/index directory has
gotten large (200 GB).  We need to create more space for the client
index directories and are weighing the pros and cons of expanding
/nsr/index vs creating a new file system and moving some of our clients
to that alternate location.

 

For those of you with large environments, how do you manage space for
/nsr/index?  Do you use a single file system (i.e. all the client index
files into /nsr/index)?  If so, have you had problems with reboots
causing long outages while that file system is checked (assuming you are
using ufs)?  Do you move some client index directories to alternate
locations and use the "client index path" field in the client
definition?  If so, do you find this difficult to manage?  Have you
needed to create any special processes to handle this?

 

Thanks.
