--mP3DRpeJDSE+ciuQ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Does anyone know of any efforts to reimplement IFS on UFS2 or have a good idea how much work it would be? I'm wondering because we have an application where where a fully current UFS2 based IFS is close to a perfect fit. The application is the Storage Resource Broker which uses a relational database to store metadata indexing for files in a variety of storage methods. The main online storage method uses the usual trick of hashing into directories. We should be able to get by with that, but IFS seems like a much better fit. This year we're buying about 12TB of storage that I'm going to be running FreeBSD on (4U, 16 drive IDE systems). Next year, we hope to buy 160TB and the final project will us on the order of 2PB of NASA satellite data and processed data products. Fortunatly for us, most files are big (about 1GB). -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
