Hey ImAnAspie, did you see my question about filesystems?
Did you miss it or did I annoy you like I have 99% of the rest of the world.
Anyway I remember one of the old Unix filesystems were super efficient with large files but I can't remember which and I am working with huge files that are over 100 GBs a piece, its all compressed.
...I guess I'll just google it...
I guess I am being lazy here but I was wondering if you knew anything about anything thats not ext(1)(2)(3)(4) cause thats all I have ever used.
Hi dcj,
No, I must have missed it. This is the first I've seen of this.
You have never annoyed me my friend

I used to use ZFS under Solaris. It was amazing.
They made this massive storage array out of an 8 port USB hub and plugged all of these flashing memory sticks into it. As they plugged each one in, you could see the size of the ZFS stripe increasing and it was mirrored. Then, they took a hammer and smashed a couple of the USB drives. Stripe size obviously went down but all the data was safe. They then plugged in 2 new memsticks in and it went back up in size ON THE FLY. Like magic.
Check this out:
ZFS
Structures
Directory contents Extensible hash table
Limits
Max. volume size 256 zebibytes (278 bytes)
Max. file size 16 exbibytes (264 bytes)
Don't ever worry about upsetting me (which I've said before) and if you ever want to PM me, feel free. You're not a burden. I like you.

Thanks I'll look into it but I am still isolating pretty bad, so I am trying to communicate as little as possible and be sane. Wrong Planet is my social life but I mean no offense when I say I want to be distant. I may PM but if I do I realize the hell that might follow if I become friends with the person. I like you too but I remember the social hell that transpired with all the people I liked before you and it makes me hesitant. Wrong Planet is my one and only voice and my stuffed dog and my gaming rig are my best friends. Nothing against you, its just better this way and much more safe. I am glad to hear we are on good terms though and if I am not on good terms with anyone, well then I agree and I am sorry, I got problems and I am doing the best I can. It is not my intention to cause dismay.
