Couldn't you make a ramdisk with a small block size. The only thing I can see bad with that method would be if you are only using unify on a few bricks and a machine is powered off or crashes. On 7/24/07, Amar S. Tumballi <amar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
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.
