>From the few responses I got about  6.1.4.x vs 6.2.1.1 for a new server,
the responses leaned to 6.2.x.

With that decision made, the next is laying out the structure of storage
pools and such.

Most discussions/directions from here/IBM say that DEVCLASS FILE is the
way to go vs defining fixed storage volumes/pools for disk (or in this
case SAN)

So, have you migrated to devclass FILE?

For folks that are using devclass FILE, what values did you use for MAXCAP
and/or MOUNTLimit?  How do you calculate/arrive at these numbers?
Pro/con's for just letting the system determine MAXCAP?

Reminder - these are RedHat Linux 5.5 servers
