- Does anyone know if a file can span accross multiple devices
- in a clustered file system? Say that a file is created on a
- particular device in a clustered file system. As the file
- continues to grow it fills the device that it was created on.
- Will the remainder of the file be written to one of the other
- devices in the cluster, or will the process writing to the
- file abend?
-
- This becomes an interesting situation when the Data Migration
- Facility and File System Monitoring are running on the
- clustered file system. Fsmon shows %used based on the whole
- cluster of devices, but df shows the %free on each device.
- Can I assume that fsmon knows what it is doing and that the
- clustered file system need not be migrated until the entire
- cluster hits the warning/critical threshold?
-
- Thanks,
- Gregg
