Re: Who's using XFS? (again)

<yocum does math>

We're up to, uhhhhh.... (2 * 1.39) + (8 * 1.12) + (4 * 1.67) = 18.42TB, and 
we'll buy another 10-12TB or so next fiscal year.

So, go ahead and change our statement thusly:

"...with EIDE disks configured as RAID50 arrays using XFS. Currently, 14 
machines are in production accounting for over 18TB.  By the scheduled end 
of the survey in 2005, 50TB of XFS disks will be online serving SDSS data to 
collaborators and the public."



The CDF guys have 32.6TB now as a test bed, and are working on moving that 
up to 100-200TB Real Soon Now(tm).  I'll ask them to send you a "statement."

Cheers,
Dan
