Kernel 2.6 supports ext3 filesystems up to 32TB, according to RH Support. Do you want to store a lot of files? or a few thousand in which case look at the mkfs.ext3 options to reduce the number of Inodes and speed up fsck after a crash.

I need to know what is the maximum logical volume size I can create. From the LVM2 Howto, the max size is stated to be 8 exebytes. However, the Red Hat doc says that the max filesystem size for ext3 is 8 TB. I am guessing that means I am limited to 8 TB if I want to use ext3 ??? If so, then are there other filesystems I can use to overcome this limit. I want to be able to create volumes at least up to 100TB. Is there anything included with the Red Hat release that would be a good choice? Or anything free not included with Red Hat? Or anything commercial? Thanks in advance for any help or opinions.
