Re: Large Filesystem

Hey,
my largest filesystem with OpenBSD on it is 12TB and for the minimal
usecase i have it works fine. I did not loose any data or so. I have it
mounted with the following flags:

> local, noatime, nodev, noexec, nosuid, softdep

The only thing i should mention is that one time the server crashed and
i had to do a fsck during the next boot. It took around 10 hours for the
12TB. This might be something to keep in mind if you want to use this on
a server. But if my memory serves me well otto did some changes to fsck
on ffs2, so maybe thats a lot faster now.

I hope this helps you a little bit!
