Hi, Sorry for the late reply. The size of namespace as it contains entries for each file/directory on the storage nodes, is directly dependent on number of files. Size of namespace = total number of files * size of one block in filesystem. so, it would be useful to create a namespace directory (say partition), with very less block size. -amar On 7/24/07, James Porter <jameslporter@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I don't know about number of files but you certainly can limit the size with the min-free-disk option in the rr scheduler. I assume you could also just use ulimit. Anyone else with suggestions / knowledge?
