Hello,

I have a new backup system running NW 7.1 on top of RHEL 5.1 64 bit with 28TB 
direct attached storage and I am unsure how best to partition up the space.

Currently we back up around 4TB /month which is based on a full every week with 
incrementals every other day.

It was suggested to create one large ext3 partition (lvm) but I encountered an 
error while trying to resize the existing partition as I was rushing out of 
work tonight.  I had thought that it was not possible to create a large 28TB 
partition on ext3 but what probably happened was that I was trying to resize 
while the partition was still mounted.  So I will pop into work early tomorrow 
and try to resize again. 

However, is there any advantage is having smaller partition sizes?
