I don't care what OS you are using, 100TB single volume "archive" is doing it wrong. Chunk your data, you will thank me; when it comes time to upgrade and migrate your hardware, you will be kissing my feet. The numbers have changed a bit (for the bigger) but the idea is as valid today as it was eight years ago: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2007-04/1572.html Nick.
