For more than 2TB of storage, is it acceptable to use multiple drbd devices, and then use LVM2 to glue the devices together and make them appear as one? DRBD doesn't like to go over about 2 gigs right now if I understand correctly. Another option might be to use them as separate devices. Our document management system allows us to store documents on one device for a while, and then later change the target device for new documents (old documents are still accessible in their original location with the normal interface.. document path is stored on a file by file basis) On Wed, 2004-09-15 at 15:48, Greg Freemyer wrote: > I may need to build a server that holds 5 TB plus of data with remote > replication capability.
