Ooh - tell me more about NTFS scalability!

ill dig you out a whitepaper next week. just... dont cut any 12 tb LUNs until monday, kay? :P

[andrewducker]

I have a pair of 2TB disks in the NAS at the moment. At some point they will be joined by a pair of 3TB disks. But not by Monday :->

surley thats not on NTFS though, most NAS is EXT3 or some other linux. There used to be a microsoft windows storage server version of 2003, it bombed. My experience in the enterprise at least is that *nix has about 90% of the nas market sewen up.

[andrewducker]

Absolutely. It is in fact EXT3 :->
