XFS doesn't fill from the front, so you can't configure things to fill the HDD first. Files in new directories rotor around the allocation groups on the filesystem, so all regions of the fs are filled more or less evenly. -Eric > Thanks for your help > Matthias > > _______________________________________________ > xfs mailing list > xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx > http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs > _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
