I don't think that GFS was ever used or tested at that scale and that was probably the theoretical limit at the time. The reason for the 16 node limit is that it is what we test (and therefore what we support), which largely reflects what people have requested. There is no reason why larger numbers of nodes couldn't be made to work in theory though, Steve. > Thanks, > Dax Kelson > Guru Labs > -- > Linux-cluster mailing list > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
