[Networker] Recommended filesystem partition size
2009-09-03 02:29:27
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?
