We're investigating the possibility of running Linux (RHEL) on top of
Sun's X4500 Thumper box:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4500/
Basically, it's a server with 48 SATA hard drives. No hardware RAID.
It's designed for Sun's ZFS filesystem.
So... we're curious how Linux will handle such a beast. Has anyone run
MD software RAID over so many disks? Then piled LVM/ext3 on top of
that? Any suggestions?
Are we crazy to think this is even possible?
Thanks!
Norman Elton
