Re^15: Storing large data structures on disk

And the largest single file (ext3) is 16 Terabytes,

Switch to ZFS, and your largest file size increases a million fold to 16 Exabytes. There are of course some practical considerations.... (it won't fit on a memory stick!)

Hm. The cheapest ZFS-enabled NAS I could find was $1000/TB, so say a cool $8,000,000 and he's in business :)	[reply]

ext4 allows 1 Exabyte, Btrfs also 16 Exabyte. If one doesn't want to switch to Solaris or external storage.	[reply]

ZFS is available for non-Solaris systems. Even for Linux (using FUSE, allowing the FS to run in user space).	[reply]
