Hi Gurus, I am too happy to summarize feedbacks to my question. Thanks so much Gurus Jordi Renye ------------------------------------------------------------------ KUMAR, Bageshwar, FM You have listed most of the options available. ANother option is to use Veritas volume manager, but this will involve cost. Dissuite is the best option. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dave Foster Using disksuite to stripe 2 partitions is your best solution, it will give larger partition and improve performance. -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Jordi Renye/FIB/UPC" " "We have a Sun Enterprise 450 Server, with Solaris 8, "with 4 disks of 16 Gbytes each one. " "But now, users need more space than 16gbytes. We require "unique path to users disk. " "Which are my options and which is the best "on performance ? " "- Use Disksuite to concatenate 2 partitions does give you all the space in one pool. "- Use disksuite to stripping 2 partitions this should give you the best performance, especially if you can put the disks on separate controllers. but even if they aren't, -most- disk i/o transactions are small - pg faults, plus possible read-ahead - and a matched stripe size will keep activity spread across the disks no matter how localized it is in the fs, while still needing only one head seek per i/o most of the time. i don't know the optimum stripe, but that should be buried -somewhere- in the disksuite docs. "- Use links at user level to link single user directories "to another partition problem here is: what if one user needs 20G? "- other solutions? " "Thanks in advanced, Andrew Hay -------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Feb 9 04:58:10 2004
