CentOS 6 with XFS question
Hi, I just installed CentOS 6.2 and tried to format and mount a 4.9 TB volume with XFS. Most of the steps I learned from reading the forums, but here are the steps I took:
My primary issue is when I do a df -h, it only shows the mount being 2TB, but when I do a fdisk -l I see 4900 GB. Did I do something wrong? My secondary question is: can I format this with differnt XFS options to get optimal performance? This is a 4.9 TB iSCSI LUN on a RAID 6 array with twelve 2 TB SATA disks. It will contain several million files of various sizes, but most of them less than 500 MB. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

Just discovered fdisk does not allow partitions greater than 2TB, so hear are the steps that I took which may help someone else.
# yum install parted # parted -a optimal /dev/sdd # mklabel gpt # mkpart primary 0 -0 # print (p) # quit (q) # mkfs.xfs /dev/sdd1 I would still like to know if the default XFS format options are sufficient for optimal performance for a "4.9 TB iSCSI LUN on a RAID 6 array with twelve 2 TB SATA disks. It will contain several million files of various sizes, but most of them less than 500 MB." |
