that CIFS can export >320TB filesystems in the case
of panasas, 16TB in the case of GFS. None if this talks about
limits on the 32bit windows client side though. Maybe
there is none for the filesystem but only for the file size?
(4G?)

Subject: largest CIFS/Samba export? largest GFS export?
What are current
size limits for large storage pools. I was considering
aggragating 20 2TB
luns on a fibre SAN with LVM2 into one 40TB volume,
create a filesystem
on it with XFS and export it both with NFS v3 to linux
clients
as well as with
samba to windows clients.
The linux clients
are all 2.6 kernel 64bit, so they should not have an issue with
this,
but what about the
32bit windows clients running windows2003 and windowsxp
?
Do you have any
experience exporting larger than 2TB filesystems to windows clients through
samba?
Does GFS have
similar restrictions (linux clients only assumed) ?
