[PLUG] XFS limits


Hi all,

Anyone have any experience using XFS? I just ran into a weird error.
I'm wondering if maybe there's a limit of 4 TB of files in a single
directory.

An rsync job just quietly stopped working. To be specific, it acted
like it was still working and no errors were reported, but at some
point overnight files stopped being stored on the remote box.

I was trying to transfer 4.9 TB of files, all in a single directory.
(Don't ask.) I thought it was getting close to finishing, but when I
looked closer I saw that the last file on the remote box had a
timestamp from around 2 AM this morning.

It's also possible we hit a 4 TB quota, but then I'd have expected to
get an error.

Thanks.

Walt
